Default Boeing Surplus is closing - how sad

I heard China got a lot of it - but some is being build in Kansas.
But talk is cheap. One never really knows.

The XIT ranch - largest cattle ranch is busted up - the King Ranch is in
the process. Heirs don't hold what creators did.

It's been awhile since I'd been there, the selection of goodies the
last couple times was disappointing. I got to talking to one of the
Boeing people there and he agreed. He says, "we don't build anything
anymore, we just assemble". Then he told me they were closing up in
September.

Does that mean the vital parts will now be made in China? Hmm...


So Boeing went the way of the US auto industry. Nothing made in house, farm
out manufacturing to anyone willing to bid. Play suppliers against each
other in a race to the bottom with quick reaction teams to move tooling and
contracts to the next vend^H^H^H^Hvictim.
