    Unlike a lot of sectors though, Airbus knows what they’re doing and is a high profile alternative, and unlike the US, hasn’t yet completely internalized our sociopathic greed disease to our degree, despite the global economic pressure we inflict on other nations encouraging them to betray and cause harm to their own societies and citizens if it means an extra nickel of short term private profit.

    Don’t worry though, the UK has fallen to the greed disease, and our capitalists are bribing and coercing their way eastward, and they won’t stop until they either are physically stopped by something like climate change, or successfully make the world forget that Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

      Ah I see you’re an optimist.

        I have just come to acceptance with who we are, and enjoy the accidental poetry of our reckless worship of greed/gluttony/growth/metastasis being our, accelerating going by the latest science still going on deaf ears, end.

        I also enjoy all the very corporate culture like bargaining that’s going on with cold, hard, unflinching physics. Oh we won’t make our non-binding emissions goals and grid standards, so we’ll just roll those back, the climate will understand!

        We’re tackling our own self-inflicted, reverse terraforming climate disaster with the stages of grief because we refuse to stop and change how we live to find homeostasis with this world, so this isn’t going to end well, and just like with clean coal/corn ethanol/plant a tree offsets/planet scale carbon scrubbers and all the other private profit driven snake oil “solutions,” we aren’t going to science up a magic bullet to save us from the epically irresponsible actions of our epically irresponsible species.

          In-fuckin-deed. All the talk about “carbon capture” schemes makes my skin crawl.

          Well it’s either that or delusional parasitosis that makes my skin crawl, but anyhow.

      Also Boeing is buying back it’s fuselage supplier that it originally spun of into it’s own business (because it wasn’t profitable for Boeing back then).

      The problem now is that supplier also makes fuselages for Airbus. So Boeing is gonna be making them for Airbus…

      Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

      What complete gutter trash talk. Economies serve the master of mankind.
