My take is that Boeing is plagued by the curse of monopolies. When Lockheed and McDonald-Douglas were building large aircraft, success depended on the quality of the product. As a monopoly in the US market, Boeing has gotten lazy...now only Airbus can put pressure on Boeing to clean up its act.

We talk about Boeing b/c the failures are high profile and dramatic, but it seems like the decay/rot is pretty widespread. It's something more than just competition within an industry. Quality of products and services has noticeably declined across just about everything (to wit: enshitification was recently the word of the year). In fact, I can't think of a single thing I use or buy that has gotten better over the last decade. Stagnation, at best; but often a noticeable decline in quality.
From personal experience, I think it's government overregulation and all the mind virus crap being dumped into our system by external, globalist entities like the WEF, UN, EU, etc. All of that stuff syphons off resources and deflects a company's focus from being on the product, customers, and service to being on meeting ever-changing, capricious rules and regulations, to say nothing of the racism and division it intentionally creates within an organization.
These things are a sort of depth charge that enter the company's ethos and then implode it from within. It's happening across all industries, across the West. And I think it has been intentional, with our business leaders as the unwitting useful idiots helping to implement this. Hopefully it's reached its peak and we can begin to rebuild.

China is building and selling a 737 clone. Not as efficient to operate but, so far, it arrives intact and not ablaze.
Boeing Bailout coming soon
