  It is almost like it is a for profit company or something

        Let’s look at the stock history: oh yeah boeing hasn’t suffered financially at all. let’s see, 2019: peaks at $422… today $221

        now, I’m not gonna tell you that’s fallen far enough to make up for the shittery, but it’s hardly doing their business good.

        but thanks for playing!

        In a capitalist system, that is what they are supposed to do. They are even compelled by law to maximise their return to investors. You are attacking them for stating a fact, believing that by merely uttering the fact, they are endorsing it.
