> That's such an incredible amount of money. It would be fair to say they are really just an arm of the government right ? If so, then every major US bank, oil, car, tech, transportation, banana, etc company is just an arm of the government. It's not just trillions in subsidies that we've provided for them over the past few centuries. We've fought wars to help these industries. The US government committed genocide against native, asians, middle easterners, etc to help these companies and industries.
