@RM_Transit Oh I do, and I know a lot of other people who do as well.

Like I said, it is a personal subjective valuation.

But at the least when you talk about government subsidies you're talking about taking money from people and redirecting society's resources in that direction. So it is absolutely a cost.

The problem is that some people are willing to pay the price and others aren't, so that's why we have political systems to decide what to do.
