It's Time to Nationalize and Then Break Up Boeing

If we're leaning on an excuse like glory days, why do anything to Boeing either?

After all, no one yet outshines their glory days of building classic planes and building the SaturnV?

I was responding to the suggestion that nationalization imposes a ceiling on quality.

I understand that, but I don't agree that it makes sense to at all consider the "glory days" as indicative of the ceiling. As it isn't really relevant to discuss ceilings on quality in terms of exceptional circumstances.

Just like how the "glory days" of many nations or many companies are when they're unsustainably burning resources for a short time for the sole purpose of glory. To me quality implies sustainability.
