Please identify the direct subsidies that Boeing receives from the federal government for development of commercial airplanes. Boeing is a large defense contractor although Boeing must compete and deliver on these contracts. Boeing negotiated with Washington state to receive reasonable tax treatment and infrastructure. Boeing could have moved production and received better deals elsewhere.

Boeing is a publicly traded commercial company without direct government subsidies to build airplanes. Airbus receives huge direct subsidies to build and develop airplanes.

If you got to ask this you may want to reconsider your nickname.
