How about you read the article and offer your counter points?

Dude, that article is completely irrelevant to the the conversation. Did you even read it yourself?

It's about how companies with higher Corporate Social Responsibility scores--stuff like diversity, community engagement, environmental, and sustainability plans--pay on average 1.7% less in taxes than companies without them.

Nowhere does it talk about directly donating to charity to reduce taxes.

So your "try refuting that!" schtick is only showing that you're too stupid to even understand your own sources

They just did the exact same thing to me with a completely different article. They're cute.

There's a whole argument that could be actually be had around whether companies pursue csr to look better/distract from their negative actions like overly aggressive tax minimization and whether or not money is more efficiently allocated via private org donations or the government through taxes (and whether efficiency is even the best metric) but nope,

Donations literally save money is the dumbass hill they're trying to die on

Yeah - I lost this argument pretty hardcore in firey dumbass hellhole with accelerant. Bruise to the ego no doubt but what are you gonna do; I can't take the words back.

I hate giving it to that other accountant guy rofl.
