And Boeing and its hidden subsidies isn't?


No, it isn't. That's why it has been around for so long. What "hidden"
subsidies do you have in mind?


The ones the US pays on its huge military research contracts that are really
a way of subsidising civil aircraft development.


Hmm. Boeing built the 747 "on spec". Which aircraft are you
thinking of?.
