> Sadly, most people would not fund the electric company to keep their lights on as they throw thousands at sport merchandise, including a new TV that they cannot power on.

People fund it with their electric bill every month. If the business isn't viable and can only stay open through massive government subsidies that's a much more fundamental problem.

Why does the government get to decide what is best for people to spend their money on? If consumers really would prefer to spend money in TV and sport merchandise, well it's their damn money to spend and none of the government's concern.
