So let's get this straight -- the quasi-nationalised Boeing fucks up, a private company steps in to save the day, and your conclusion is that fully nationalising Boeing is the answer?


"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. "

I think a stronger interpretation would be that Boeing's management/corporate culture needs a dramatic shake-up.

Short of letting the company fail completely if left alone, nationalization might well be the best measure out of a long list of not-great measures to shore things up.

Not saying that it's the measure that should be chosen per-se, but as usual it's often better to be pragmatic than ideological at least.


It’s amazing, isn’t it? These same people complain how everything is broken and that the solution is to double down on it. It’s such a sad state of affairs that the corruption is actively supported by people and they want to feed it more and make it bigger.


lol - i read it the same way
