I realize listing a few examples doesn't prove anything, but when I've skim these threads, I see lots of comments like that and few counterarguments. Hence my impression.

Thanks - interesting to focus on tax cuts for the already rich but I guess it does make sense if the people here want it.

    You're not actually wrong. Reversing it would have immediate and far-reaching benefits for large companies. I suspect many of those would respond by going on hiring sprees.

    And also, reversing it would encourage more people to start software businesses. So while not a tax cut for small businesses that don't exist yet, it does help those future potential leaders make the leap.

    Backwards. Startups are typically quite cash poor at the beginning. This gives a huge advantage to the already established, rich companies.

So you believe that the majority of HN commenters support the Big Beautiful Bill:

Adding trillions in unfunded liabilities to the US debt, kicking tens of millions off of Medicaid and food snaps, allowing the Trump administration to ignore court rulings just to name a few. Arguably the worst bill in the history of the US.

Tech bros putting their personal wealth and greed ahead of what is best for society.

Because let's be honest here. That is the only reason you're posting this now of all times i.e. in order to help push support for the bill ? I really thought HN was above cynical politics.
