Yes air travel is subsidized, and if you look up ground transportation it's even worse. The Fed pays for insanely huge amounts of motor vehicle infrastructure for which ground shippers barely pay a small portion relative to their resource usage and negative externalities.

The Fed[eral Reserve] specifically? I'm simultaneously surprised and not.
For clarification, no. I am certain that person met the federal government. The Federal Reserve is a private enterprise (disgustingly) that only takes from the government. It does not give.
Correct I meant the federal government, not the federal reserve.
