Again, more straw-man arguments. That’s all you have.
My arguments are not straw man arguments. Not in the least. You say a proper capitalist roader company does not get government benefits—even when its in the public interest that they do so. I’ve showed you half dozen or so examples historically and contemporary where in fact that is the case. Companies do enjoy government benefits—especially when its in the public interest—and they have done so since the founding of the republic.
According to your ideal realm where metal birds sing—gm & ford are good because they make profits stand alone. But in 2009 when they almost went under—they were bailed out by the federal government.
I know— that was a democrat thing.
On the republican side, the coal companies were almost regulated out of business—but Trump brought them back to life by deregulating them.
