From the news...

"Air safety officials in the United States have asked Boeing Co to supply fresh analysis and documentation showing that numerous subsystems in its 737 MAX planes would not be affected by electrical grounding issues first flagged in three areas of the jet in April, two people familiar with the matter have told the Reuters news agency.

The extra analysis injects new uncertainty over the timing of when Boeing’s best-selling plane would be cleared to fly by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported Reuters on Tuesday."

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

All law suits in Europe to do with the max are company related nothing that any government has any control over.

The stupidity of the trade sanctions is a separate matter. Bit like the nordstream 2 pipeline the sanctions were pretty much ineffective. Airbus has large production in the us anyway which wasn't subject to the sanctions.

So it was never going to hit the target.

Boeing have declared a profit which is surprising and rather suspect to be honest.
 
creative accounting?

I presume there is a load of bonuses linked to boeing being in profit.

So A bit of creative accounts moving capital from one entity to another and you generate a profit and the fat cats get a 6/7 figure bonus while the workers at the coal face get run over.
