| #4 ^^^ Social Engineering, Diversity, Inclusiveness…etc. etc. These things are a cancer hollowing us out from the inside, brought to us by the Left. There is only one solution. One. |

| #3 Something else in play here i think. I wonder what that might be. Boeing used to be a brand name in aeroplanes. Now their planes fall out of the sky and the parts don't fit together. The IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the EPA, major league sports, Boeing... feel free to add your own 'favorites'... it's as if everything we built over the last century is turning to shite. I gotta say that doesn't seem like a positive trend. |

| #2 I worked for the company that made the tooling for 2 of the main fuselage sections; our tolerances on these were half of what was then typical. These tools all came from the same mold (all high temp composite). So logic would dictate any misalighment due to tolerance stack would be relatively constant and shimming processes in place. Something else in play here i think. |

| #1 Another brilliant idea - the distributed manufacturing of major components of this aircraft. Imagine surgery where you are sent to one hospital to be anesthetized, then transferred to another to be cut open, to yet another for the procedure, yet another to be closed up and finally another for postop. Brilliant... |
