Obviously they don’t need subsidies. But economics works on incentives. Problem is these incentives are discontinuous and can change on a dime. You can accelerate a change by aligning incentives.

Otherwise the incentives for these companies are not going to align on a timeframe that is acceptable to employees and shareholders. Now we can make all kinds of normative claims about how this should play out, but I honestly don’t have the energy to entertain that kind of conversation anymore.
