It leads to fragile corporations that go bankrupt or have to shrink the moment the market shifts. People and companies need savings. Manipulation of that savings by the government works to everyone's detriment. Just imagine having a job with a company you knew could survive a years-long downturn without cutting jobs.

Seems like it would be similar to imposing the same on individuals. We would have a bunch of useless stuff and not be prepared for a recession. That's the opposite of responsible economics.
It also depends on the tax policy. If you buy a "location", but you can only depreciate it over 30 years, you're taking the hit anyway and recovering it over 30 years. Economy goes bad and the government gets to decide who gets that money.

Especially toward the end of the year when you realize you're coming in with extra profits and have to ditch them quick on whatever is marginally helpful to you.

Obviously written by someone that never watched or understood the show. Walter White is actually offered the money and refuses it. If there's any lesson in that show, it's that it's not about the money.
How can someone miss the point so completely...
...and before anyone says it, I get that it's a joke, it's a dumb one.
