Can you give an example of one of these "useless" green programs?

Your own example undermines your point. Solyndra, a company, was part of a much larger Energy Department program that was profitable for the US government. Tesla itself was kept afloat by loans from this program [0]. This has all been well-reported, you can read up on it. [1]

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

I'm not Spotify's greatest advocate here but why do all the comments here suggest that if he price goes up then it just mean you get more for your money.

It's called inflation. The cost of doing business for them has risen and therefore they are passing that back to consumer.

Now that doesn't prevent them from not increasing wages of course and pocketing some of that extra revenue instead of course.

It just shouldn't be surprising that things get more expensive as time goes on.
