Let the markets play out as they are supposed to. Incentivizing one industry over other is meddling with the capitalistic nature of US.
It's already bad with with corn and soy monocultures
Am I the only one that finds this branding of the US being a capitalist haven to be complete and utter bullshit? Companies regularly and in the open bribe (sorry, “lobby”) politicians for changes to regulation to give them unfair advantages, externalizer costs, etc etc. Walmart, a bastion of low price capitalism, relies heavily on a workforce on government food stamps to operate. Private and public utilities get politicians to pass laws making it more difficult to install solar. Car dealerships with political clout force companies like Tesla to sell through their channels or leave the state. Etc etc etc. Not a day goes by that I don’t see articles that support this and yet everyone still pretends the US is capitalist to its core!
And what are called "political donations", would fall under the law of corruption in many European countries.
This is one of many reasons I’m convinced our government is kayfabe at this point. Nobody who was truly making the calls on a trillion dollar budget would sell for that cheap. The general pro wrestling level of discourse is another reason, but there are many more.
That's actually been done before, more than once.
The result was 30 million starving to death in the USSR and 60 million starving to death in China. Plus the odd few million in North Korea, Ethiopia, Cambodia, etc.
I'd rather we not run that experiment again, thank you.
I'm not the one advocating beating people with sticks.
