Neither of those figures seem to add up to the $381M on the chart.
There's probably a point to be made with the numbers, but it's kind of muddied in whatever that chart presentation is attempting to achieve.

Try to understand NPV (Net Present Value). It's kinda hard to explain, but not really that complicated.

Maybe 50 full timers? + 30 millionaires and a couple hundred minimum wage part-timers.
Pretty big difference to an HQ that employs hundreds of decent wage full-timers, and I doubt many subsidies net in the negative hundreds of millions like this.

You're equally guilty of mischaracterizing every criticism as 'absolutely no public $$ whatsoever!!!'. Very few people have said that. It's a natural thing to happen in these debates and hard to avoid, but it's silly as we end up arguing against imaginary arguments that nobody is actually making.
