The Trolls at HA are gloating over Boeing's move, bla,ming the unions and the dems. They miss the point. The only things that could have kept this form happening was ... socialism,
Our trolls need to understand that their free market IS merciless. As an international company, the concept of community means nothing to the new McBoeing. Their duty and motivation is to make $$ for the shareholders and to enrich the managers. Nothing else matters.
Moving ALL of any company to wherever the profits can be higher is implicit on pure capitalism. There is NOTHING any government can do to compete with lower wages and higher govt subsidies.
And yes Unions are a negative in a free market when that free market has to compete against a STATE system that outlaws unions .. China!
NOW things can get really ugly. Why should McBoeing remain in the US at all?
The cost of moving headquarters to Chicago was peanuts, the cost of moving ownership to Beijing or Brazilia would be even less. The only real strings keeping Boeing here is Troll-land are the likelihood that Unca Sam would not allow the Boeing defense IP to move out of the country.
NOW, oh Trolls, ask yourself if the same issue pertain to Airbus? Airbus IS a European, socialist endeavor. Its choices as to where t locate are intrinsically tied to the SOCIALIST concept of a company being owned by its community."

Yes, Airbus, being mainly owned by a consortium of european governments, can't easily move to where the production costs are lower. But as long as some producer can move, the Euro govt. owners will be left propping up a high cost producer with declining market share and will be forced to increase subsidies. In the long term, they'll realize they can't subsidize everything and collapse like the USSR
