re: The best explanation of what’s going on at Boeing

You don't agree that it's a bad idea to remove the country's largest passenger jet builder from the workforce that was professionally trained to build those same jets and give the construction over to a bunch of untrained jackasses that are cheaper?

This kind of histrionic nonsense makes you lose an argument by default.

To meet rising aircraft demand, Boeing has to double its output every 12 years. It can't physically do that and remain 100% in Seattle. It wouldn't have enough space or enough trained workers.

The only way for it to meet demand is to broaden its footprint and integrate more suppliers.

Boeing has more employees in Seattle today than it did 20 years ago.

And calling the South Carolina workers "untrained jackasses" makes you look ignorant.
