  • More than 30,000 Boeing workers, members of the company's biggest unionized group, were set to strike Friday after staff rejected a new labor contract and approved a strike with a 96% vote.
  • The work stoppage will halt production of most of the company's aircraft, including its best-selling 737 Max.
  • The strike is another costly blow to the company trying to increase output and improve its reputation.

You're correct that I didn't fully process to the end of your comment above. After reading it again it's obvious whom you support.

I just wanted to say that you cant solve all your problems with money

Everyone deserves security in water, food, clothing, shelter, sleep, healthcare, and education. They should have enough excess for "pursuit of happiness" as they individually define it. But, the vast majority of the products of their labor are stolen by vampiristic, dead capital.

You and I may have enough money and wisdom to have some security. Most do not. They face far more immediate and critical problems than we do.

We shall not judge. Enhance their wisdom if you've the means. But, trust them to decide what money they require to solve what problems they perceive.
