you have one choice, and one choice only. socialism or barbarism?

Do you realize how "loose" the R&D tax deduction AND tax credits for R&D are in the US? Like, if you wanna switch ERP systems to improve managerial oversight and gain access to greater supply chain management oversight the credits and deductions for just changing your business/accounting system are so lofty that you can essentially do it for free, and you get to continue writing off a large majority of your employee salaries for the people that maintain it.
R&D is more than 100% subsidized by the US govt.
So fucking dense. I swear.
