Ja en nee.
Dat de overheid bedrijven via een #belastingvoordeel steunt is ooit ingegeven om #werkgelegenheid te creëren. Dat op zich is een valide argument. De tijden zijn echter verandert en daarmee ook de inzichten. De overheid kan die #subsidies afschaffen, maar dan zal het wel gaan ten koste van werkgelegenheid. Wellicht dat het op andere gebieden wel weer meer werk oplevert.
Dus ja, die subsidies moeten weg (overheid) en nee, we moeten niet klagen als het onze baan (wij) gaat kosten.

The.core problem is #capitalism and that it incentivizes #unsustainability & #profits over #sustainability and #society because that's what the laws incentivize.
In fact #public #corporations have to maximize profits ba all means legally possible or risk getting sued by shareholders.
Whereas #cooperatives are also bound to their members/shareholders but with the demand to be sustainable.
Same goes with #subsidies for unsustaonable #agriculture.

Again, #cryptocurrency mining is a way some people try to make money by shifting the cost of their bad behavior onto other people. Pollution, money laundering for organized crime, ransomware, scams, support for rogue states like Russia and North Korea: that's what cryptocurrency is.
Here, #Texas power authorities paid a cryptocurrency mining company $31.7 million last month to use less power:

However, the global lender demanded that popular #subsidies cushioning living costs be slashed. #Petrol and #electricity prices have rocketed."

“Over 90 per cent of native forest that is logged in NSW is pulped and sent overseas to be used in woodchips and cardboard.”
“The NSW government has been covering the losses of the native forest logging industry for nearly a decade. It is not a profitable industry; in the past two years alone, $29 million of taxpayer money was spent subsidising native forest logging".
"...The NSW government's audit office found FCNSW did not consistently monitor compliance of its contractors or assess risks."

Some useful data on the extreme magnitude of subsidies to the fossil fuel industries worldwide.
"Globally, fossil fuel subsidies were $7 trillion in 2022 or 7.1 percent of GDP. Explicit subsidies
(undercharging for supply costs) have more than doubled since 2020 but are still only 18 percent of the total
subsidy, while nearly 60 percent is due to undercharging for global warming and local air pollution"
