Not just that, but it's so they can profit from even more taxpayer subsidies. That's why theyre trying to convince us it's all for humanity.
Subsidies seriously distort the market.
IMO the only kind of subsidy should he “If you’re a human, you get some money on a regular basis”. That’s the only way to subsidize economic activity without distorting market signals, because humanity’s choices is exactly the signal source that the market should be responding to.
Subsidies are important. You pay enough tax dollars that some of those should be used to help the country be stronger economically. You don't want all farmers to disappear from the US because China can make food with slaves for waaaay cheaper.
The problem is theyre laughing at you helping their friends with that money, and calling it capitalism. It's socialism for corporations using the people's money really
