    Not to mention how strategic of a company Boeing is to the US military complex. US government is 100% not going to let Boeing just fold. Not sure if Biden is going to bust the strike due to optics with the upcoming election, but I doubt the administration from either party is going to play nice with the union once the election is done, which is unfortunate and short sighted.
