One way to get businesses to move their factories back to the US due to tarrifs: Start nationalizing them.

I mean if they’re utilities, we shouldn’t let a board decide what should rightfully be in the hands of taxpayers. Really they should welcome a stable (OK maybe not so stable in the US atm, but generally…) owner as the government.

Just because something is a “utility” it doesn’t mean that the government should own and run it lol.

By your logic spaceX should stop taking gov $ then.
Just because something is private doesn’t mean they should get public funding.

It’s not up to SpaceX to stop taking government handouts - it’s up to the government to stop giving handouts.
I agree with you - they shouldn’t get public funding. IMO anything the government funds they should own instead, but this doesn’t mean they should take ownership of the things that they fund - they should instead use that funding to start their own taxpayer owned competitor.
