> "In short, salaries paid to software engineers can no longer be deducted as a cost, like all other employee wages are." I simply can not accept this as the full story. Here is why: Google is full of software engineers. If the effect on the bottom line was this big, they have the capacity (together with Oracle, Palantir, Meta depending on the administration) to simply change the government. They would not have waited for the legislation "to fix it". It would have been changed immediately. Since they haven't done that, I am questioning whether this is the full story. Happy to be proven wrong.
