Unlike you, I don't give a **** WHO it is that's exposing the waste and corruption in the government we're currently overpaying for!Mrkelly » 34 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ you responded to my post that showed concern for the richest man in the world having a say in how our tax dollars are spent
the same guy that gets BILLIONS of dollars OF OUR TAX MONEY in subsidies and grants
**** off Goober
Are you saying that if Trump directly cut the huge waste that Musk has uncovered that you'd be happy with it?
The fact that you're extremely limited business acumen can't comprehend the reality that the largest companies in their field (whether that be Tesla, Walmart, or Home Depot) DO NOT get hurt if their government subsidies are cancelled. And that's because Tesla can afford to lose those subsidies when their smaller competitors cannot! And when the competition dies out, the largest company grabs a larger share of the market, enabling them to raise their prices once the competition is gone!
Why do you think a company like Walmart always FAVORS a minimum wage increase that they know will cost them a much more expensive payroll? They do so because they know that the smaller retailers they compete with WILL OFTEN BE FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS due to the higher costs they can't afford to absorb the way Walmart can. Don't you imagine that Home Depot thrives when smaller, "mom & pop" hardware stores are forced to close down?
Are those facts so completely foreign to you?
