So fotze gets drunk with Mr Coffee. Seems a little unfair, I get it; however, they employed a ticket sales guy, a parking guy, a security guy, a brewery, the guy who delivers the beer, a janitor, the guy who stocks urinal cakes, the uber driver, etc etc.

Every dollar spent because somebody was grabbing a write off is employing people. It's nothing but good for the economy.
Not saying it's wrong on the overall principal, but in a funny way this kind of adds to market momentum both positive and negative. By this logic If businesses on average are having a strong year, presumably it is on the back of a strong economy. Then they are more likely to spend money fueling the economy, which re-enforces a strong economy. The opposite could happen too, businesses are suffering in a weak economy, they then cut the client event, further leading to softening (less work out there for a ticket sales guy, a parking guy, a security guy, a brewery, the guy who delivers the beer, a janitor, the guy who stocks urinal cakes, the uber driver, etc etc. who now spend less in their day to day lives)

Just interesting how it contributes to negative feedback loops.
