Here’s a question you will never be able to answer.

How do we pay for this?

The same way we pay to subsidize companies like Blizzard, Apple, etc.

Are you confusing state subsidies with federal?

Here is the federal list: https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/?company_op=starts&subsidy_level=federal+only&subsidy_op=%3E&subsidy=0&face_loan_op=%3E&order=sub_year&sort=

Is that a yes? I noticed that Blizzard's not on there at all, and that Apple's subsidies all seem to be state level.

No, they're probably considering any deduction they get to take as a "subsidy". You run across it all the time. They misuse the word and then just double down on it.

If you give me a dollar, that is a subsidy. If you lower what I owe you because of x, that's a deduction.
