- thrashh 5y agoYeah but people complain about all sorts of stuff. We haven’t gotten rid of the subsidies yet. Although in this scenario, we could subsidize oil to Hawaii. I don’t know how that could be sold but everyone already benefits from subsidies somewhere and everyone already subsidizes something else.
