It’s probably time to talk about nationalizing Boeing. Their business is 100% related to various aspects of public interests, be it defense, air transportation, or NASA. Cutting corners for the sake of executive bonuses and stock buybacks at the expense of safety (and taxpayer money!) is NOT in the public’s interest.
