    No one will care how profitable our industry is, when the whole planet is engulfed in natural disasters…

        Alright. I took issue with “it makes sense”, because I disagree with that part. As I’ve already pointed out, you kind of have to ignore the things that actually matter.

        But even then, it’s not like we have to strengthen the strongest industry either. From a economical viewpoint, it’s also quite an excellent idea to invest into industries that will grow in the future, like solar power, wind power etc…
        And with public transport, you don’t really invest in the traditional sense, because they don’t pay out directly, but there’s plenty studies on their huge economical benefits.

        So, even with their massive focus on economical strength, I think they’re doing everyone, including their voters, a disservice. That is also why I’m calling them corrupt. This whole stunt only makes sense to me, if that earned them various donations from the car industry.
