The destructive power of the Section 174 change cannot be overstated. It has been reported on a lot, but its harms are generally poorly articulated.

I do not like many things in BBB, but I am glad to know there is at least something in there that I can be glad for.

Lol only for it to kick back in in 2029 during the next administration. Your employment has now become a bargaining chip in the GOP's handbook.

    I don't follow. Why is the GOP to blame here?

    If the other party allows these cuts to expire, why wouldn't you blame that party?

      These were... Introduced, and passed, by the Republican party? Seems kinda obvious that we should blame them. Let me know who you blame for cancer: the tumor or the doc who "let it happen"

Why sent tech companies and tech workers kick up a fuss when this bill passed in 2017. I remember being mad about it

    Yeah I think we did kick up a fuss?

    The better question is why the tech industry seemed to forget that the first Trump administration was terrible...
