Boeing is the poster child of what killed the USA.
Boeing went from an engineer centric company and was poisoned by a “reverse-merger” that put people who already killed one manufacturer in charge. These parasites proceeded to stick to the same playbook that drove them into the ground plus double downed on their greed. I added up all the stock buybacks which looks like legal embezzlement and it was more then the research and development costs of the 777 and the 787 combined. I didn’t bother with adjusting for inflation as the buybacks are spread over decades, so the true cost is definitely worse.
