What? Why should it be broken up afterwards? Modern aerospace requires the stability and funding of a large SOE. Every time Boeing or Airbus designs a new airplane, they gamble their entire budget.

it's a peculiarity of the western brainpan that when they imagine large-scale regulatory action, even in those dreams that action must be in service of producing m a r k e t c o m p e t i t i o n

less jokingly, you could decouple the defense contracting from the civilian work (so like pre-90s boeing). but in a world where the guvmint would nationalize boeing, that guvmint's probably a DotP, in which case idk that we care that the civvie and military work be kept distinct

If it happened in the US, then that military division would probably shrink down to nothing pretty quickly.

I like to imagine that they actually mean the people who work for Boeing. Just snapping board members and managers in half.
