      Seriously. Once we nationalize it and it starts operating like it used to, it would be a shining example of why nationalization works.

      It’s also why you’re going to see an tsunami of useful idiots saying we shouldn’t do it.

      Go further, nationalize the MIC. I’m not gonna sit here and pretend the United States doesn’t need to manufacture arms for itself and it’s allies, but we absolutely do not need thousands of useless C-suite middlemen making millions of dollars from the process. Boeing is just the canary in the coal mine, I would not be surprised if other frequent contractors have also significantly decreased their ability to produce useful goods in favor of growing their profit margins. Great for profits, but not exactly what you’re looking for to protect troops.
