Yes, Boeing is about as woke as they come, but Airbus gives them some pretty stiff competition, as you might expect from the EU’s crown jewel.

Rand has never ran a lemonade stand and made 2 quarters profit. He made a living by joining very strong union of doctors. I can go to prison if I tell someone to take aspirin since I don’t have a medical degree.

By the way the new leader at Boeing has engineering background, and Boeing stock has done very well lately. The account types ran Boeing into the ground.

He made an ass of himself on Tarriffs, and now should shut up, and let the adults Handel things.

It makes sense in light of the Boeing order for 160 planes from Qatar. BTW, we have ‘gifted’ Ukraine for at least 65 billion that we will never see a benefit from. We do receive benefits from Qatar, such as our prime base in the area Al Udeid Air Base in Doha, which is one of our Military’s most valuable assets. So yes, to all that scream about it, the US is getting the gift, not Trump. How many ‘gifts’ have the Congressmen and Senators received, both reported and not reported? I bet it far surpasses the $400 million from Doha.

Good argument. So you're a classical music fan?

He’s not wrong.
And government mandates on government contractors killed Boeing.

The problem with the libertarian theory on tariffs is it doesn’t work unless your trading partners hold to the same theory.

How is that relevant? My comment has nothing to do with Trump.

“But much of FR hates Rand Paul, because he opposed Trump on something, once.”

Do you really think Paul’s right on Open Borders?
