you realize you are using the wrong word right?

Subsidies are when the government GIVES money to a company.

This is a tax incentive, which is the government NOT TAKING as much money from a company.

its still a net gain for the company, but thru two vastly different mechanisms. The subsidy you claim would be the big government option, tax incentives are the small government option. its literally less government involvement in the matter. I guess it really comes down to if there are strings attached, but on its face letting a company keep more of its money is different than the government giving the company someone else's money.

There are typically a lot of "subsidies" involved in Kentucky incentive packages....

"Subsidies" = Training grants, grants to offset facility cost, etc. Issue with these type of "subsidy-heavy" incentive packages is that it can lead to more political decisions. Does Beshear give this same package in a red area of the state, for example. Huge issue in TN is two comporable projects can get wildly different packages based on blue vs red.

By 'collapse' do you mean continue to outperform the US in important quality of life measures?

I lived in Europe for years and that was during the good times, it will collapse into a big mess and they will go back to what they do best.... killing each other. I'm not sure the U.S. can be saved in anyway, I sure in the hell wouldn't put on any money on Europe. It was nice knowing them.

So you are firm in the belief nothing has changed since 1865?

Mind saying which president.

Politics in general? No.

Dems? not so much either. THey still don't like people to have personal freedoms, and they love keeping their constituents on the .gov teet while accusing everyone else of being racist and fascist, which is the very definition of their own agenda.

I read the text of the policy as it's no longer classified as a hate incident but as harrasment

I think the “hate incident” classification within the military and UCMJ is freaking laughable so this is a move back in the right direction. Using inflammatory terminology like “hate incident” as amplification within the law is just pandering to both extreme bases

They didn't vote for your brand of murderer, treasonous people, blackmailers, etc or don't think a mask is going to stop a cold so they are psycho?

Yeah, go with that.

Interesting. You ever seen many videos of your people at protests and such? Actions and physical appearnace & adornment. 'Psycho' is not owned by any specific political party.

'Psycho' is supporting gender affirming care, freedom of identity...yet only getting a choice of male or female under the knife.

If these things really matter to you then you wouldn't be supporting the current admin so fervently. Take a step back one day

You must have me confused with someone else. I'm not a die hard or fervent supporter. I did help elect him however. He's taking on some necessary evils with policy and we do need a good bit of what he's trying to do, but still hasn't matured yet. He's a perpetual teenager it seems. I would have been open to crossing over, but the abyss was far deeper in the opposing gene pool.

Luth and the boys are far more fervent than myself. I can't light a candle next to them. Nor would want to be in their vicinity of TDS/anti-TDS. I'm just old fashioned right center with no options to consider in either direction. We have digressed from best candidates to lesser evils.

There is no confusion. You said he's different and gets things done just a few posts up. You then list things that he is no different than those you try to insult. In some cases he's noticeably worse. He is not good for this country but needs people like you to buy into his marketing

He's lost so much political capital with the recent Epstein thing which may be for the best

Watching you trip over your own idiotic claims and then spend the rest of the day back peddling and obfuscating your own idiotic posts is some of the best clean fun on this board.

Whatever floats your boat.
I didn't back peddle at all.
Watching you guys fail to comprehend simple language and then be amused by your own misunderstandings is my entertainment.
It's like observing a bunch of 6 year olds watching Beavis and Butt-Head.

I get a chuckle from watching what makes you giggle.....and what you completely miss.
