“There is a number of industries today that are already obsolete, kept alive by sheer inertia or by political subsidies. Many politicians, in an attempt to ‘save jobs’, are foolishly taking resources from new, viable industries and giving to these obsolete ones. ‘Saving jobs’ in this context means that politicians are rejecting ways of producing the same level of output with a much more competitive and cost-efficient method, and is not to be applauded at all.”
