Wait a minute!
You said Boeing got ****ed.
What Boeing got ****ed out of, was government subsidies to
buiild a commercial SST.
Now, ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.in light of your
free market economic beliefs.


What's to address? I had no control over who the government spends money
on and I'm solidly opposed to it.

I mean they got ****ed because they were promised the money to do the
research, (something I oppose, but a deal is a deal) then it was
withdrawn, not because the project was not going well, but because of the
worry about "noise pollution."
If you're going to stop the subsidies, it ought to be for a rational and
verifiable reason, not a made up one.


A subsidy that you agree never should have been


I suppose you could also rationalize it by noting that any information
that came from the research funded by those subsidies might be applicable
to military uses, but I don't know, and it still is funding that I oppose.


Yes, that would be quite a rationalization!
backwards applicabiity.



I could also rationalize further by pointing out many people were being
employed and paying taxes back and once the project was finished (had it
been allowed to) there would be people employed and paying taxes from
wages and from their spending, not to mention the taxes collected on sales
of the aircraft, had they ever gotten built. Still companies ought to do
their own research financed from their own money.


That is exactly the same rationalization used by the developmemt
authority condemnin Kelo.


Certainly I don't want government spending money in such a way, the
aircraft companies should do research on their own dime. The system that
allowed them to receive the subsidies was already in place and there was
nothing I could do about, other than oppose it.

No matter how much I oppose it and would not allow it under the system I
advocate, the fact is it was being done and then the funds cut off and the
result was disastrous for the people of Seattle.


You are advocating a corporate and civic welfare subsidy.
