Let's see...if we give each peasant a check for $1200, they will let us give Boeing a $60 billion bailout. That's $438000 per employee. Think that is going to be evenly distributed? That's just for one too big to fail company. Hence,the rush to get this through Congress before any real debate can be done. I'm hoping AOC puts the kibosh on this giveaway to the rich.
We really, really, need to eliminate the cost plus system, and go back to flying prototypes or fuck off. Both monstrosities need to be broken up into 4 companies each (Lockheed-Martin being the other). They can always require production orders to sub contract to be sure the bid loser doesn't go bankrupt and stays around to compete again.
And for Heaven's Sake, we need an affordable, reliable, multi-sortie per day rugged, agile fighter that doesn't cost $100M+ a pop nor needs $100k/year contractors to maintain, which isn't going to be possible a Taiwanese Airbase that is being hit hourly by Ballistic Missiles. Jerry Sanduski's wife and 2 kids will prohibit his 45-year old ass from going. But Airman Albert can't refuse at a fourth of the salary.
