No, this is standard gov behavior for stablizing industries of bational security interest.
Its technically a good thing
Yeah, I was gonna say, as an isolated act, this seems good and also moves things a millimeter further from laissez-faire capitalism. Returns on investment could be used to help fund government operations.

Oh absolutely. Just saying on paper this is actually normal.
