Subsidies

The Biden Administration picked the anniversary of D-Day to deep-six the NewRange mine, which would provide minerals to power electric vehicles and his green-energy transition. The U.S. will have to import the minerals from arsenals of autocracy like Russia and China.

We live in times of inexplicable decisions.

Subsidies


"...a Department of Homeland Security “anti-terrorism” program, which distributed approximately $40 million to groups with a tendency to demonize their political opponents, is worrisome. For instance, the agency has funded a program that has produced material classifying mainstream conservative organizations such as the Heritage Foundation, Fox News and the GOP as only a few steps removed from neo-Nazis and far-right terrorists in terms of the threat of radicalization they represent.

I sometimes criticize conservative political rhetoric, but it’s far-fetched to believe that simply watching Fox News puts one on the road to radicalization any more than watching MSNBC does. People are always entitled to their opinions. A government that forgets this could end up normalizing censorship while rendering us all less alert to real threats of radicalization."--deRugy

These particular subsidies by the government makes very little sense unless they are trying to launder the responsibility. But there are many other examples of financial support for organizations that have very specific social action without any uniform social support. As if a good aim, like pharmacology studies, are valuable in themselves.

Not sure subsidies are a proper pursuit of government.
