    I don’t think breaking Boeing up into ten squabbling, feuding companies will make things better.

    Just look at what happened with Bell Telephone and the baby bells. Like the T1000 it just took a couple decades to re-form into a duopoly (Verizon and AT&T) and would completely reform back into Bell Telephone if the regulators would let it.

    I don’t know what the solution would be, but it’s not more capitalism

      Well if your trying to give everyone in america a gilded cage then breaking boeing up would distribute the wealth in a manner that would alleviate the contradictions in capitalism enough to give the workers enough treats to not rebel. I want the workers starving so they do the revolution, hence I believe that boeing should be bailed out so that american aviation and engineering can decline. Best case scenario is americas nuclear capability becomes so degraded it cant actually work and we get nuked without being able to retaliate.
