So true!!! Just ask any former or current military personnel who has protected our Great Nation here and abroad.

To be clear … what you are proposing is fascism, first promulgated by Mussolini, whereby ownership remains in private hands but manufacturing decisions are controlled by the government. This was actually practiced by FDR and mistakenly referred to as socialism by many.

Well, I am absolutely certain that they could not implement it.

I agree with the idea that the Government should buy stock up to the amount necessary to keep Boeing alive. It is a critical resource,even if recently poorly managed. The Government will allow Boeing to buy back the stock during better times at market prices
.

Bad idea since Boeing would have to issue new shares to realize any capital. This would reduce the value of existing shares. The Government can loan Boeing the money they need.

Let China buy it like government did with Chrysler sell to fiat. GM should of NOT got bailout, went to VIPs retirements fund and unions.

Boeing downfall is the 737 max, bad programming, bad training, bad decisions. Expect government hand out again after over charge government for all contracts they got. Let it go bankrupt.

First on list. 737 max.

OK, fine. Now explain exactly which provision of the law was violated. Have charges, related to the law in question, been brought against Boeing?

So let me get this straight. Boeing has overcharged the Government for ALL contracts? Please provide evidence to support such a claim.

737 max
 

That is exactly what happened. The engineers warned Boeing about the bad design of moving the engines further up on the wings. This made the planes non-aerodynamic. Then they had 2 computer systems fighting against each other to remedy the problem and finally to save money Boeing did NOT tell the pilots about this or give them the required training. Boeing SHOULD go under!

Oh, I’m sure who would come back and take over all of the lost business: C-H-I-N-A! There we go, let Boeing, GM, Ford, restaurants (that’s what we need more of China Buffet) all go under! Make you wonder? 🤔

That's 153,000 good paying jobs you're willing to throw away..

We should bring ALL jobs back to our country. Jobs and security. We should never depend on others for our necessities that really don't like us.

I totally agree that Boeing is a critical industry, but in our system, stockholders take risks to earn rewards (dividends, higher stock prices, etc.) This is a classic case of stockholders betting on a management team that turned out to be good at the financials, creating a lot of wealth for stockholders over a long period, but ended up showing that they have no idea how to run a technological giant like Boeing. This company is famous for its engineering proficiency over decades, then for some reason, someone decided that the engineering-focused top managers should be replaced by finance and marketing-focused people, and the result is a complete disaster. If Boeing is to get a bailout, it should be conditioned on a complete restructuring of the company, replacing its current CEO office and board of directors, and forcing current stockholders to pay a significant price for betting on an incompetent management team. Maybe in the future they may prioritize good engineering and safety, with less pressure on the financials.
