A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Government subsidy is the driving force behind green technology. Capital has done everything in it's power to fight it to protect its O and G investments. Capitalism is an anti-innovation machine.
Someone should tell capital that: https://www.gsam.com/content/gsam/global/en/market-insights/gsam-connect/2022/Green_Capex_Capturing_the_Opportunities.html

But what do I know I only work in an industry with a fuckload of green capital investment
An industry which sucks up government subsidy. An industry which would have never got off the ground without that subsidy. I guess you're the real socialist considering your industry wouldn't exist without all those government dollars, lol.
So wait capital is defined as "government subsidies?" You sure you're not a capitalist?
Unironically, you know who gets too many subsidies? Small farmers. Kill the farm bill.
