    Why have national companies when you can subsidize whoever gives you a better cut to pretend they’ll start doing it.

    My subsidized manufacturing company bankrupted, I’m gonna need a bailout

      Yeah that’s exactly the problem with the subsidy route without any other part of the chain existing. They’re incentivised to take you for a ride for as long as possible.

      You need to create the competition conditions before subsidy works.
