Boeing killed Boeing. Just like NASA is doing to NASA. Planes that dont fly. Rockets that dont do anything. Maybe they can get a sub-contractor to handle it.

My last American car was in the early 70’s. Been Toyota ever since. Anyone see a pattern?

My car is Japanese and my truck is American.

My last American car was in the early 70’s.

I've never purchased an American made car. I have found American cars over the years to be behind the tech curve and not very innovative.
