Iâ(TM)m super left leaning, but this could be one of maybe two things trump did that werenâ(TM)t dumpster fires for America. Itâ(TM)s possible at least some of the extra costs are govt caused, but itâ(TM)s also clear Boeing should have bid higher or is actually really bad at bidding and actually staying within budget. I really donâ(TM)t understand why cost plus contracts are so common and contractors can literally go billions over budget. Building some things just surely donâ(TM)t have so many unknowns you canâ(TM)t bid accurately (and stay within budget) and planes and rockets both seem to fit that. Software with evolving specs, not so much.

âoeDirectingâ aka softly suggesting. Aka NOT censorship.
