I also don’t follow that stuff too closely, but yeah, those examples are exactly why Boeing doesn’t stop making commercial airplanes and completely pivot to defense contracting. You _can_ make money hand over fist working with the US military, but winning giant money printing contracts is easier said than done. It’s a super volatile industry that Boeing unsurprisingly limits their exposure to. Discussing anything related to the US military on HN can be frustrating, and the recent surge of “Boeing only really cares about their cash cow, defense” comments is no different.
