If someone wants to tell me that Boeing is the worst of the worst, I won’t argue.

But Boeing is definitely not unique. I know that some — and I’m guessing ALL — defense contractors are on the exact same path.

All public US corporations: the emphasis is always on "plumping" the quarterly profits to please investors and cash in on stock options and bonuses.

The "MBA" reflects this, as though there were a generic managerial skill that, by running a spreadsheet, magically lets you run everything from a missile manufacturer, to a furniture maker to a restaurant chain. Which is to say, all these companies are run by financial wolves who know nothing about production or services but only know how to squeeze as much short term profit as possible by cutting costs and quality (safety or the law be damned), selling tech to Chinese competitors, until the empty husk goes bankrupt and, like locusts, they move on to loot another company.

Take a look at the "entshittification curve":
