    Yep, sure. I'm okay with that. It makes more sense that someone else buys the company than to throw it in the trash, but regardless I don't see how "they make good products" is an excuse for the manipulation of our government on the scale they've engaged in.

    If more corporations faced the death penalty for the shit they pull they'd be way less likely to pull it. (To be clear I'm referring to the company being sold and/or the leaders going to jail, depending on the offense, not literally executing the heads of corporations)

      I don't disagree but I'm confused where you think I said good software excuses lobbying against pre-prepared returns. I'm fairly certain I said the opposite.

        To me this is how our conversation thread goes:

        Me: I hope they crash and burn

        You: They actually make good products, I hope this tax stuff goes away so they can focus on their good products

        Me: Nah, fuck them, I hope they crash and burn for what they've done

        You: And throw their good products in the trash?

        That to me sounds like you think their good products should save them from the Find Out portion of Fucking Around. Please correct me if I misunderstood you, but that's how the conversation reads to me.

            I'm sorry my reply came off as aggressive, I truly wasn't trying to be. These times are incredibly frustrating, we just want good products from good companies that don't do fucked up shit, and that seems to be too much to ask for ?? It sucks.

            But I have no problem with you personally, we're all trapped in this stupid system together. Be well, my dude. I'm sorry my reply caused you stress, it wasn't my intention.

            Edit: I see that you have downvotes and want you to know they're not from me
