Companies do the exact same thing.
Yeah, but companies waste their own money. Not mine. Unless I'm a shareholder, I could care less if they flushed cash down the toilet.
With tax breaks, subsidies, and grants, they get to throw your money down the crapper as well.
They waste your money by charging you higher prices. And their competitors do the same thing. You don't pay the lowest possible price for everything. Free markets are a utopia: they don't actually exist.

They did this to tick a box for promotion to the next level - not the best use of the share holders money
Governments aren't the most efficient organisations around. But Western governments certainly aren't the worst either.
