Why does America treats presidents and ex-presidente as a protected class of citizens?

Depressing that the line workers had to improvise as Boeing production engineers are too few to handle the workload

Because gullible consumers keep paying

Also note China modernized faster than any country. China went from farming-based to post-industrial in about 30 years and population behaviours and beliefs didn’t follow it at same speed. So they have more hicks with ability to damage stuff than most of Africa and Central Asia

As much as I would like to see a drastic solution for Boeing, America also has a very poor track of nationalization outcomes. Everything the government touches becomes bloated and inefficient. Best solution would be for Boeing board of directors and the C-level executives to be entirely replaced or just let Boeing die a slow death under litigations.

“International law” is a meaningless term. Especially as the USA itself does not acknowledge non-US courts and/or jurisdiction.

KY voters might be all schmucks and even reelect the people who proposed this

See, but that dividing line is the issue - that minority figured out how to use the political process for their needs. We can debate whether they got external help or not, but they face no visible opposition and the many different varieties of opposition have no coherent plan to counter that, as each of the opposition have their own particular and absolutist view of how it should be done and can’t agree on a way forward, either.

Basically we are living that Austin Powers gag of the guy who was squashed by the steamroller until November comes

The public and politicians needs to understand that “Christian” in the context of MAGA is just shorthand for “marginalized white non-catholic Americans who mostly lives away from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts” who got screwed by a severe deterioration of living standards as globalization only harmed their livelihoods (although allows them to buy cheap stuff that, in the end, does not make it for the lack of long term life prospects for them and their communities).

America has a way of not caring for communities and livelihoods in the midst of economic changes and the electoral influence of MAGA is the ultimate symptoms of this culturally-ingrained and supported lack of care. And Dems also have no plans or policies for them, so it is a one way ticket to political extremism.
