  • Why is this an issue. They have their incentive to keep building and selling. As long as they’re building and selling, it doesn’t matter to the rest of us what their profit is.

    “Issue” was probably the wrong word “potential for controversy” would have been more appropriate. It’s potentially controversial because if the profits exceed the subsidies you’re effectively just giving money to shareholders.

    If they’re building make excess profit, that’s just more opportunity for legacy manufacturers to be competitive. Capitalism 101

    No. This is entirely the opposite of capitalism. Under capitalism there are no subsidies. If a business isn’t profitable then it fails. Simple.

    What we have is an abomination of capitalism and corporate socialism. That’s the controversy I referred to above. Where governments funnel money to enrich corporations and the select few rather than helping improve population they are charged with governing.
