@PaulWay@aus.social you don't get to become a successful business owner without being able to externalise as many costs as possible.

@womble@infosec.exchange I feel that's a very cynical view to take.
Yes, one can argue that businesses that take advantage of the available incentives and tax arrangements are in a better position to survive.
But to me that doesn't justify expecting the government to provide more hand-outs just because something new has happened, or there's a new opportunity.
I also think that companies that can move first and get the edge, to start saving money up front, win in the end over companies that lag behind and rely on hand-outs and tax breaks. There are already generous interest-free loans and other grants for business to upgrade to EVs and reduce their use of fossil fuels. They can do this right now.
