In Finland there is a party whose social feed was full of line items from the national budget they thought worth eliminating.

It’s really the only time when I’ve seen someone really take a look at the budget and try to figure out how to save from the non-essentials instead of arguing about how much to spend on eg. Hospitals vs defence.

As I understand accounting, you really don’t need to do stuff like this to write off your assets.

I’m not saying there isn’t a cynical corporate reason for doing this but I doubt this is it.
