In my area you would have trouble finding a single strip mall that wasn’t built using government guaranteed loans that are commonly defaulted on.
I didn't say corporations should be subsidized, I said they should have low and possibly zero corporate taxes.

It seems you have some vendetta against "corporations", the source of which is unclear to me. Even if you do, punishing them at the expense of the economy is foolish.

There might be an argument that we should sabotage the economy to fight global warming, but there's lots of ways to do that, and just about nobody would willingly do it (AOC aside).
