      “them immgrunts takin’ yer jabs, sonny!”

      Still, I think Boeing delivered enough proof of concept on ‘doomsday planes’ in recent years, just by a different interpretation of the definition. MCAS, burning 787 batteries, plane doors quitting at random, the list is long.

      Kudos to Forbes AU for actually phrasing ‘immigrant billionaire’ and even better that it’s not about Musk for once.

      Good for them. Time for some non-big players to start getting some of these contracts.

    3. The contract is worth $13.1 billion over 12 years and is a game-changer for privately held SNC, which booked just $2 billion in revenue last year.

      $2 billion in revenue a year is ‘just’.

      But $13.1 billion over 12 years (which would be slightly over $1 billion a year) is a game-changer?

      Immigants. I knew it was them!

      Even when it was the catastrophic engineering failures, I knew it was them!

    5. I hate to say it but Boeing deserves to get bent over. If this means destroying the US economy.
