When you are subsidized by a billion tax payers, you better beat the private sector!

The more important question is if it is worth it, since money spent is zero sum.

It's not "zero sum" if you have exports...

Also, we could use more zero sum that redistributes wealth towards huge masses, even if that means some billionaires will have fewer billions...
