The serious decline in Boeing's manufacturing practices calls for immediate action. The company's focus on cost-cutting and outsourcing over the expertise of experienced workers has led to significant safety concerns, as revealed by former quality manager John Barnett. The grounding of the 737 MAX planes further emphasizes these issues. It's important to note that Boeing's main competitor, Airbus, is government-owned. Nationalizing Boeing could ensure that safety standards are prioritized over profits, allowing for a comprehensive overhaul of the current system. This would shift the focus towards the welfare of the public and workers, rather than corporate gains.
