Why are we socializing risk and privatizing profit? Seems like a bad combination to me, a net positive tax payer.

I think you should research the programs a bit to understand why they have been setup this way. Everyone benefits from more medicine, weapons, food, etc.

  So why aren't the shares being given to the public?

    Nobody gets shares in the first place as they are non dilutive grants.

      From what I understood new shares were being created. What happens to them? Where do they go? Who has custody of them?

        That seems a rather aggressive response to someone suggesting you read the manual in order to enable a legitimate conversation about the topic. I explained why the shares aren’t given and why benefit still accrues to the public.

I disagree, but in the interest of not painting the mods into a corner with my reply, I won't pursue this thread further. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article.

The sentence I quoted upthread added nothing to your comment, and that is that part I took issue with.

  I think you should write a meaningful reply instead of being a snark, oh learned one.
