Thinking about it - is there a single corporate giveaway bigger than land cities give to carmakers for free? The auto industry has no business model without free pavement. How large is that subsidy - inclusive of land value of “public” streets? Land in SF is $600/square foot.
"Thanks for playing?" Who talks like that? Anyway, that's exactly how subsidies work. Lowering the cost of owning and operating a car means drivers pay less. It's fine, if you want to make drivers pay the full cost of operating a car. Just own up to it and make the case honestly

1/ What's the point of Twitter speak? It's neither meaningful nor elegant. And finding who gets the benefit of a subsidy works in the same way as determining tax incidence, but in reverse. It's split btw consumer and producer, with a ratio that has to be determined empirically.
