It’s an industry failure, society failure, not just a single project failure.

This country can not build a new reliable airplane, like it did decades ago.

It’s failed project after project. Ask yourself why this is the case? What has changed in this country? What has changed in the industry. What has changed in society?

It’s not just aircraft. Where are US high speed rail systems, that other countries built 30, 40 years ago?

Where are modern infrastructure?

Who works in water treatment plants, providing clean drinking water for millions of people? What happens when all these guys retire in few years?

Tik Tok is all fun and games, and no one wants to do the hard messy work of treating water for consumption.




My working hypothesis is that the business class and politicians are looting the country until the empire crumbles.
