Oh no, it's a very real $5000.
You see, what we have is this model of collective decision making, where we agree that it would be good if we pick winners and losers to ensure that up and coming industries with roughly 1/3 of of the externalized societal cost have the opportunity to thrive against entrenched legacy industries that have offloaded a bunch of hidden costs on society, so that eventually the lower impact industry can grow and compete head to head. (we call it government, and sometimes it is there job to pick winners and losers).
