What I'm no ok with is subsidizing particular industries (EV incentives) or banning plastic grocery bags at the supermarket.
What works is anarcho-capitalism. Witness Internet. A recent example was set by Fisher Industries. They built something on an 'unbuildable' site that's best in class for a fraction of the cost. Over the weekend.

Their example shifted discourse in Congress, in case you didn't notice.
