Gotcha, my mistake, definitely not well versed in that. Thanks for the correction, better that people are educated.

More like: “by opening this box you have contractually agreed to vote against the formation of any union and to report all union forming activities to your goblin overlords. Furthermore, by being ‘present’ or ‘employed’ by this corporation when this box was opened, it anytime in the future, you also contractually agree to the rules outlined above. Should a legal dispute arise concerning this contract you are bound to mediation to determine that you are wrong and the corporate legal fees will be deducted automatically from your paycheck, no matter where you are employed.”

You mean ethanol welfare, a subsidy is just welfare for a business…
The way that he is opting out is by refusing to spend the ~$300k that is the federal government’s requirement to be part of the grant program. I wonder if it would be possible to do an end run around that waste of oxygen, and have a charity raise the ~$300k and accept the $18m the federal government is offering, to be distributed by the charity instead…
I think the best course of action would be to reframe their thinking, instead of allowing things to keep in being called subsidies, force them to try to clarify the difference between a subsidy and welfare. Ie, farming subsidy? You mean farming welfare. Banking subsidy? You mean banking welfare. Did you know that Boeing Corp has received $15 Billion in subsidies not paid back? You mean $15 Billion in welfare, they in fact, received nearly $75 Billion in welfare, most of that welfare being received since 2000, and of that ~$75 Billion in welfare received, they actually paid back ~$60 Billion. So they received $15 Billion dollars in welfare from the US taxpayers. They are by no means the sole corporate beneficiary of welfare from the taxpayers, just the first one I stumbled upon. Point being, force the language to reflect what they hate so their hypocrisy can be exposed and other people’s eyes can be opened. Most people don’t know exactly what a subsidy is, they think there is some sort of justification for it that makes it beyond criticizing, a subsidy is just welfare for corporations or farms to keep them in business, we want them in business, sure, but we also want kids to be able to eat over the summer, and if farms and Boeing and banks are deserving of welfare from the government, and hence from the US taxpayers, why aren’t kids?
Hypothetically speaking, the conservative Supreme Court justices could be included in the official order from Biden… Wouldn’t have to worry about the conservative justices making the wrong decision then…
