Patriots have nothing to do with it. Unions are the most guilty. Originally the UNIONS served a good purpose, but they got greedy, and have outlived their intended purpose. Union officials really got greedy. no wonder corporations went to China, they had to just to get competitive. Then too, the government didn't help with the tax system. You wonder why German products are so expensive, look at their manufacturing set up. They tax the poor man to death just to pay for their social system including once a German, always a German. When the wall came down, West Germany bout went broke paying the East Germans. This rant just goes to show there is more than 1 thing that needs addressed to get out of the current pickle jar.
BTW, with the current situation, what system did the government use to decide that Boeing get the F-47 contract, with all the past screw ups. Lately everything Boeing touches turn to sh--. KC-46, New AF 1, Space capsule, and the list goes on. North-Gruman has a much better record, and the newest part of the F-47 they designed and have to give it to Boeing to screw up. When will it all end?
