The USA does shit like this all the time. It destroyed Bombardier on Boeing's behalf a few years ago.

For me it reads more "technically unable, or too lazy to make a blog".
Yeah, and correlation isn't causality. Causal studies under controlled conditions don't back up what you're saying.
The thing that I question is why is this requirement for this fiscal balancing only required for giving money to poor people? In 2018, the US Government added $2 trillion to the US national debt to give a 5k/capita/year subsidy to the top 5% of earners.
If we're already in the business of chucking money at people in fiscally irresponsible ways, I don't see why changing the target from "rich people" or "oil companies" to "everyone" is suddenly a problem.
I think climate change is a problem (not a crisis) but it's important to note that if a scientist questions climate science, he becomes a pariah.
People who have never done science really like this idea of the general scientific community being some sort of secret society that agrees to support eachothers ideas.
If you put 5 scientists in a room, you can't get them to agree on >anything<. The idea that disagreement is enough to get you outcast from "science" is complete nonsense.
