The Fall Of Boeing Is Complete: Imagine How Bad They Must Be To Be Called Out By NASA!

An honest appraisal of the many departments of the federal government would be hard-pressed to find an efficient and competent one in the sea of catastrophically wasteful and downright damaging divisions.

Okay...I can think of one. The United States Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing does a pretty good job of producing our coins and bills. Far too many, but that's a different issue. And they are probably pathetically inefficient, but at least the end result is of good quality.

But in the main, the federal government is a pathetic collection of career apparatchiks, layabouts, no-nothings, no-shows, thieves, and the flat-out laziest people in the country. So when they criticize one of their biggest contractors, you know something is up!

NASA Inspector General Report Criticizes Boeing's Quality Control

The report pointed to 71 “Corrective Action Requests”(CARs) issued by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) at Michoud between 2021 and 2023 to address “deficiencies in quality.”

NASA’s OIG said this is a “high number of CARs for a space flight system at this stage in development and reflects a recurring and degraded state of product quality control.”
“Boeing’s process to address deficiencies to date has been ineffective, and the company has generally been nonresponsive in taking corrective actions when the same quality control issues reoccur,” the report said.

Maybe Boeing fell behind on their bribe schedule, or maybe their corporate culture's shift from an incredible engineering company to an MBA-driven financial company has something to do with it. Add in the frantic and all-encompassing dedication to DEI over all other considerations like design, engineering and production excellence, and we might have a hint at why Boeing has turned to absolute sh*t. Over budget, behind schedule, substandard quality, designs that simply don't work...that doesn't signal a company that is in control.

Contrast that to SpaceX, which developed its first rocket from scratch for about $100,000,000. They had their first successful launch 15 years ago, and SpaceX is now the preeminent space launch organization on the planet.

And all without a robust DEI program! How did they do it?
