Boeing’s Gaping Hole

By -

The failing corporation Boeing, buoyed only by the fact that it is a massive gift-giver to Congress and thus has survived off the grift from defense contracts, has been taking a lot of heat for manufacturing shoddy, defective, death machines known as Boeing passenger jets.

And keep in mind, this is in the context of the most over-inflated, fake, government-induced joke of a stock market in the history of the human race.
