I'm surprised you've never seen it before, it's been pretty common for a long, long time. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_socialism https://en.wi

  It's not any kind of socialism. I know in American parlance "socialism" somehow means anything to do with government, but this is not how the rest of the world thinks of the word, and the word "socialism" has its correct interpretation right in it. If it's a private entity capturing the state's revenues, that's anything but social. It's the opposite. It should be called what it is: lemon corporatism. And it's sadly nothing new.
