"...We hate SpaceX,” he added. “We talk s–t about them all the time, and now they’re bailing us out..."

Of course Boeing, and the people at Boeing hate SpaceX.

They hate SpaceX for the same reason the Democrats hate Trump.

If not for Trump, and if it had been an unbroken chain of Democrats in the White House and Government since 2009, we would hear Democrats say: "Listen...running a country and the economy is hard. Nobody could do it better than we have. We don't have a crystal ball, and we have handled these unexpected things better than anyone else could have."

Likewise, with Boeing, were SpaceX not there as a living contrast, Boeing (and no doubt, NASA) would say:

"Listen...running a space program is hard. Nobody could do it better than we have. We don't have a crystal ball, and we have handled these unexpected things better than anyone else could have."

Without the contrast between Democrats and Republicans, a lot of people might bite on it. With the living contrast, the Deep State can only depend on propaganda and gaslighting to convince people that they did not see the four years of Trump with their own eyes, and there are enough gullible dummies out there who buy it...enough to keep it close enough to cheat, they think.

As it is with Boeing and SpaceX.

Without the contrast between Boeing and SpaceX, a lot of people might bite on it. With the living contrast, Boeing can only depend on propaganda and gaslighting to convince people that they did not see what they have been seeing since SpaceX began launching and successfully landing boosters with regularity in 2016.

“Boeing has become a farce.”

...that continues to get gigantic .gov contracts.

When the contracts stop then they will find out what humiliation really feels like.

At least Boeing employees can take some solace in knowing their DEI program is better than SpaceX’s.

So, if the plan was 8 days, it’s been over 2 months with another 6 to go, how are they managing sustenance and waste?

What DEI, ESG, CRT, etc. have done to a leader in aerospace.

Add MBA to that list because they're the ones offshoring engineering and computing jobs.

Elon will trim a trillion off the national debt in one year, not to mention the graft.

“Can you see Elon in charge of discovering government waste for the Trump Administration.”

It would be a little bit of Heaven, considering his major RIF when he bought Twitter.

There is something wrong with Boeing. Many large corporation have problems. But unlike those companies that are mismanaged and just go bankrupt, what is wrong with Boeing get innocent people killed!

Boeing’s largest employee union voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to authorize a strike, increasing the pressure on the company to meet its demands for higher wages and better working conditions or risk a crippling walkout later this year.
