The gift came with a string attached - preferential rates for the government - but (a) that string costs less than the value of the free land, and (b) the government waived their claim to preferential rates in the 40s, thus giving the railroads another subsidy. It has been explained to you many times why it was not. On the contrary. The closest to evidence you came up with was the government's decision to subsidise the railroads further in the 1940s by waiving the preferential rates they gained as the one concession for their land grants; you tried to harp on the exact words of the comments one official made about the subsidy to prove that neither it nor the land grants ever happened. I explained to you exactly why you were wrong. Unfortunately, you are too stupid to learn anything. |
