Don’t Tax Options and RSUs Upon Vesting

I think the way to look at this is as yet another attempt by dying but deep-pocketed industries to buy themselves a few more years of oxygen whilst their executives either retire and GTFO or they desperately pivot to the scary new age of Tech and AI that is already upon us.

IMO it's not partisan, it's just business.

further, this already happened once with AMT and Dotcom 1.0, leaving a bunch of rank and files with huge tax bills for profits they never actually reaped.

My thoughts exactly. There can't be any other reason for it.

I'm not even a tin foil hat kinda person, and I'm not nearly as paranoid as many about "the powers that be" - but I thought about it for almost an hour solid this morning and this is the only reasonable consolation I can come to. It's odd because it's actually massively stifling the economy to protect what killed the economy.
