Your making up your own definition, or taking a faulty one from someone else. The existence of a monopoly is simply not incompatible with the existence of a free market, as long as that monopoly came about through free market means and faces at least the theoretical possibility of competition, without any law or other type of force used to stop the competition.

Subsidy is subsidy......


Faulty logic.

Your trying to prove A is B, that payments to these companies are subsidies.

Your argument for it is C=C, Subsidy=Subsidy. Sure, I agree that C equals C, but you have to tie it in somehow to make it relevant.
