We already subsidize tons of essentially valueless jobs, from propping up the coal and oil industries when they can’t compete in the free market, to paying farmers to plant corn for ethanol that no one needs. Those subsidized industries actively harm the planet. Why not subsidize equivalent jobs that work to reduce harm to the environment instead?
- golemiprague 6y agoI would rather not subsidise any of them, and anyway, finding some solution now to a problem that might or might not happen in the future is a waster of time and money. They can't even model the current virus but want to destroy the whole economy for some future problem based on even more complicated system that they probably can't model properly. I would rather wait and see how things develop and then deal with it when it comes without huge minus in the bank from all kind of useless subsidies and "new deals".
