BREAKING: Move over F-35, Boeing just unveiled its newest sixth-gen embezzlement vehicle! ✈️💸

Features include:

- Self-detaching doors (for surprise mid-air weight reduction)
- Cutting-edge cost overruns (now 500% over budget!)
- AI co-pilot programmed to ask, ‘Shouldn’t we fix the 737 MAX first?’

Boeing Innovation: Because why build functional planes when you can build shareholder value?

@yogthos Corollary.... almost every tesla cybertruck has been recalled because some panels below the windows are held on by glue and glue alone and have detached to attack passing vehicles and pedestrians.

Ps. The wings for the F35 are made in Israel and a piece of it is made in every US State. So as long as there are jobs for americans and the zionist entity too, fuck the aircrews. 😎

@heretical_i I mean these companies basically operate on the same principle as memecoin stocks, they don't actually produce much of anything of value

@yogthos Boeing today is a 'contract farm'. It doesn't actually have much industrial capacity of it's own afaik. When I lived in Vt in the 70s I worked at a shitty little machine shop punch pressing out the vent screens for lockheed's f16 aircraft brakes, as an example.
