I don’t think corporate recipients constitutes socialism because it incentivizes people having jobs.

Agree re: good free market-ers but it’s chicken v egg for me. You’re saying chicken and I’m saying egg. I should be able to act in my particular best interest and not care what happens to you but you should also have the right to act in your best interest and not care what happens to me.

Compromising free markets in the heart of freedom and the beacon of free enterprise is a death knell for every corner of the globe attempting to maintain or establish free markets.

(I’m obviously talking long range, not in this 4-8 yr window.)

It’s amazing how much the people hate the people/corporations who/that keep them working.

Agree to an extent but often not in an equitable way.

Obviously this is an extreme example but I remember when Yahoo put a location somewhere in NY it eventually came out that, via the subsidies, for every $45,000 a year job that they created they received $2 million. Traditionally speaking anything > than $100,000 gap between pay and subsidy was considered to be high at the time. I fully agree that bringing businesses to an area to create jobs is a great thing, in theory, but if the taxpayers are also paying the subsidies and the benefits to the corporations are even fractionally that lopsided then even the ones with the shiny new jobs aren't really going to break even, much less the ones who didn't get a job.

I don’t think that calculation of value is 1:1 though.

Out of body experiences from Bryse and AJ kept them from catching heat for that garbage. Still should have been serious at the deadline....

Yup. A Lance Lynn or even a Taijuan Walker win us a World Series.
