even though that seems to make the most sense to me.
The local government figures have been attacking Boeing for years, and

them hard for every drop and cent every time Boeing wanted to do anything.
They
certainly should not be the least bit surprised if Boeing decides it wants
to do
major manufacturing elsewhere, in more hospitable territory. It also
would not
be shocking to see the wings manufactured in Japan, where many orders may
come
from. Moving the hq out of Washington should have been a huge wake up
signal.
Yet another reason that business is leaving America - increasingly
stringent enviromental regulations, increasinly complex goverment
regulations, increasingly excessive taxes; when the business leaves, those
jobs are gone...forever.
The biggest lie in the world.. "I'm from the goverment, and I'm here to
help'.
