Jesus Christ. All those mass layoffs of a couple of years ago? Turns out it was due to republicans incompetence and greed in that massive tax break in trump’s first term. They changed R&D costs from expensable in the same year to amortized to offset a massive corporate tax rate cut. A short term gain came at the cost of a huge long term loss. Typical gop self-serving short sighted transactional disregard of consequences and responsibility. https://flipboard.com/@quartz/tech-innovation-bung2t3nz/-/a-7QnWl_ffSROjSsGv4cM5PA%3Aa%3A7497286-%2F0
