It's not manufacturing junk. It's manufacturing weapons of mass destruction at a massive scale. A few of their planes malfunction, ok. The bombs they produce are a different story. They work, and they fuck up thousands of lives in a short amount of time.

Not just planes, recently there was a problem at the ISS after astronauts docked. Embarrassing.

Anyway i was thinking more along the lines of fighter jets, etc…but then i realized that Lockheed manufactures most of the new advanced jets.

And point taken regarding bombs.

@JumpCrissCross I can't reply to your sub comment, but yes, Boeing manufactures weapons systems. It's their bread and butter. You thought they only built airplanes and partially functional spacecrafts?

> Boeing manufactures weapons systems

If you’re intentionally mis-using the term WMDs your comment is in bad faith.

Okay you're right, weapons of mid destruction.
