he paid revenue for these companies wouldn’t still be increasing so rapidly

Is that why they're all sucking up to Trump and asking for so much subsidies to survive?

Example 1

Example 2

Americans are effectively subsidizing these companies via their tax dollars by the billions.

These companies are also losing billions. So I don't where where you got that idea.

    That first example specifically refers to how fast revenue is increasing.

    Companies are going to try to lobby to save money any time they can, that's how business and lobbying works. If they don't get it, they aren't going to stop, they will just use the next best option.

    If you don't want your government to subsidize industries that don't actually need it, maybe you shouldn't have voted in Trump.

    That isn't the technology that's at fault.
