    most people appear to support these transfers around here as long as it is their “team” getting them.

    I mean, that’s what politics is. You make a good point about “Reason” being a crappy source, but handouts to different industries are intended to help those industries. That’s the point.

    If you don’t like it: vote, volunteer, donate, etc.

      Why is the taxpayer funding corporate entities owned by the rich?

      I thought we are a free market economic system where private capital drives economic growth?

      if are giving these people cash transfers, why is the state not taking equity position in these ventures?

      It gets real awkward when you start asking such questions as most people can’t reconcile propaganda with how the system actually functions.

      All of this while people are crying we can’t provide free lunch to school kids lol
