Those subsidies lasted a long time, but just as with a TV they didn’t last forever.

So if your argument is some subsidy will probably happen next year sure, but individual subsidies change over time. No specific subsidy is the default.

This doesn’t seem connected at all to your previous claim. You said that the default is an absence of subsidies?

There’s no contradiction between saying:

For any specific situation the default is no subsidy.

With millions of situations some of them are not going to be at the default.

In 500 years will some specific things be subsidized? Vs in 500 years will something be subsidized?
