Another day in clown world.
We have the notoriously bad plane maker Boeing just landing a cool $212 million contract from the Department of Defense.
Why?
Because those military fighter jets aren’t going to fix themselves.
And who better to fix them than the company that keeps having their planes falling apart mid-flight?
What could go wrong?
The St. Louis Boeing crew will be the ones to repair these jets.
So, you have to ask yourself, do they really want these jets to be fixed?
What’s the goal here?
