That was my point, but I think your next paragraph refers to the US only. I was taking issue with your stance and liberal sprinkling of the word “They” used to define a nebulous homogeneous group that exists only in your imagination
In the capitalist world there is no “government subsidized business” as I said that ceases to become a business by definition. It becomes a Government Supported Industry, an NGO (like your police, social workers etc.) or a charity or in civilised countries, a Nationalised Asset. .
Unless of course it is a business that solely exists by taking a percentage of government grants by undergoing the tedious and mind numbing business of applying for available monies and living off commissions on successful applications.
