Its strange how Europe reacts differnently to “failure”…we subsidised whereas the US seems to say “tough s***, the market couldn’t support your company”[/quote:16da44530d]

Erm… I think that with a little bit of digging, you’ll find that the US gvt subsidises just as much as the EU (industry, agriculture and whatnot) – they just don’t call it ‘subsidising’ :wink:

(in those immortal words from I-can’t-remember-which-movie, Independance Day I think, ‘you don’t think the US gvt willingly pays $5,000 for a toilet seat, do you?’ Apply that to -say- Boeing: I doubt that their R&D for the US military consumes all the sums invoiced to the Pentagon).
