Make America Great Again. It’s not blaming capitalism. It’s blaming the corruption of commitment to quality and patriotic purpose that underpinned a company that once embodied American greatness and innovation. Corporatism has overruled free markets. Boeing is in bed with the state and is starting to operate like a Soviet airliner.
Totally agree with you.
And don’t forget Chyna. Without a lengthy internet search i cant find the dates, but 10-15 years ago, Boeing wanted to do business in China. That meant Chinese owning shares and having access to intellectual property. One thing they desperately wanted was the techical parameters for the Boeing wing, which was a military secret at the time.
My recollection is that Boeing got permission to share that data with the Chinese government. What I’d like to know is what negative influence the Chinese may have had over Boeing since that time. Boeing is still somewhat important to US military preparedness.
