So, is there a reason we shouldn't be learning about these details?
No, there is no such reason. The learning is fine. Actually having detailed information about the countless ways that the state subsidizes the so called 'private' sector is instructive, but then again, is it news for people on this list? https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikecollins/2015/07/14/the-big-bank-bailout/ " the total commitment of government is $16.8 trillion dollars " so, 600 millions for the quantum mafia is a drop in the ocean. The governmetns of japan, china, the so called EU and the US are heavily involved in propping up the 'private' sector in many ways, from manufacturing obedient wageslaves in public 'schools' to providing cheap 'credit' so that wageslaves can buy the latest model of quantum retardphone, to beating to death anybody who can threaten their 'system'.
