Lack of externality-cancelling taxes is not equal to a subsidy.
- malcolmgreaves 7y agoHow is the effect different? It's a cost that the private company should be paying, but is not. EDIT - if your comment is pointing out that these things are techincaly different words/phrases, then ok. However, to me, that doesn't make for good discussion: talking about the effects and results, and not fighting about term meanings in the trenches, leads to points of productive conversation.
- nathan_long 7y agoIf a town allowed a restaurant to dump their trash in a public park for free, would you consider that a subsidy?
- gridlockd 7y agoNo.
- nathan_long 7y agoLOL
- nathan_long 7y agoCompeting restaurants and whoever is in charge of the park cleanup budget would disagree with you quite strongly
