   But it may deliver Boeing some competent aircraft engineers.   
      
   I think we'd all be grateful if fewer Boeing planes fell out of the sky,   
   killed fewer people, fewer engines caught fire and fewer bits detached   
   mid-flight, fewer people shat themselves thinking they were about to die.   
      
   I don't personally have a problem with Trump inviting in over half a million   
   Chinese students so they can return to China with skills which match the best   
   America offers its own.   
      
   But it does seem insanely ridiculous while Trump repeatedly complains America   
   is falling behind China.   
      
   "Aiding and abetting the enemy" wouldn't be the path I'd take to address that.   
      
   It's not surprising MAGA and Patriots see that as traitorous, a betrayal of   
   America First.
