Aren't the subsidies just reverting to
what they'd have been in 2020? Presumably inflation adjusted in some way, but the media reports have blurred the line between the enhanced COVID-era 'temporary' subsidy and the original base-line pre-COVID subsidies.
I honestly haven't been able to tease out what the baseline would be; it's in the interest of advocates to merge them to an all-or-nothing scenario because a all-or-some scenario is just more complicated and probably too clumsy to serve as a clear message, so while some reports indicate a distinction one or two clauses later that distinction's blurred.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
