Sorry, miswrote, still on first cup of coffee. What do you mean by subsidies and are they state, federal or both?
Thanks.
Let’s start by looking at the bailout of the airline industry. This isn’t being done to save an industry that is already shedding tens of thousands of jobs and may take decades to recover from this COVID fiasco. The purpose of this bailout is to ensure that these airline companies can fulfill their terms on purchase orders for new Boeing aircraft that they no longer need.
Perhaps the most disgraceful example of a “subsidy” for Boeing comes in the form of the U.S. military. It’s no coincidence that the government-owned airlines in all these Middle East sh!t-holes where the U.S. either protects radical Islamic royal families or topples secular dictators invariably end up buying dozens of new Boeing aircraft to replace their aging Airbus fleets.
It’s also no coincidence that the loudest “neo-con” globalists clamoring for U.S. military intervention in these Islamic dumps include prominent South Carolina political figures like Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley who have been owned by Boeing for years.
