The number of outstanding shares came down by 25 per cent. On top of that, the 737 Max debacle happened, causes solely by mismanagement at the highest levels, has cost them billions in profits as well. And now they want a bailout. If anyone should be refused a cash infusion from the government, it's Boeing.
Yea, & I’m only asking for $5,000.
