HolmanJenkins Thought you were a serious paper, pulling my subscription now. You guys are like the housing market is shrinking thanks to socialism, or people are eating less meat thanks to socialism.. lol.. gone!

HolmanJenkins The WSJ correlating “a bad business bet”with “all centralized planning of any kind must be bad.”

HolmanJenkins Nice plane to fly in. Fun while it lasted :)

HolmanJenkins This article is an embarrassment to anyone with an education. Capitalist or socialist we can all agree that holemanjenkins is an idiot. Disappointed that wsj is so garbage they need click bait now

HolmanJenkins Like the Boeing 247, the Edsel, New Coke, Enron, Trump Casinos, 2008 Financial Meltdown?

HolmanJenkins Yeah but the Joint Strike Fighter was a marvel of capitalism

HolmanJenkins The sad thing is, it takes way more than a failure of airliner to teach people what socialism means. Such as, the suffering of the people of an entire country.

HolmanJenkins get bent

HolmanJenkins Demise of A380 signals the end of Globalization’s excess and its’ utopian goal of becoming a conduit for massive population transfer. An already ravaged Earth can’t bear the assaults of unabashed globalization or globalism!

HolmanJenkins No. The A380 was done in by better technology (lighter planes and more efficient engines) and the concomitant price decreases offered by competitors. 'Socialism' has nothing to do with this. Next you'll be arguing that Southwest's two free bags is un-American or Un-United.

HolmanJenkins Christ WSJ, what’s next? “What the cancellation of The Punisher on Netflix can teach us about the evils of trade unionism”, perhaps? “A recent massive snowstorm in Rochester is a lesson in the folly of pursuing single-payer healthcare”?

HolmanJenkins And 747's demise is what? A sign of capitalism rising from the ashes? Is there any thing in this world you hacks don't see through your pathetic ideological lens? A company made a bet on market trends and they were wrong. Socialism? Go get a life.

HolmanJenkins Yeah if Airbus had only followed the path of capitalism, they'd have a successful, well developed airplane....like the F35

HolmanJenkins To the extent that there’s some broader lesson in Airbus’s A380 debacle it has f**k all to do with “socialism” and everything to do with technological/logistical challenges and (more importantly) the mistaken belief that hub-and-spoke air travel would remain dominant

HolmanJenkins Socialism crashed my space shuttle and made me fat.

HolmanJenkins Finally! A voice of reason. Let's do a 5 year plan about a plan as this will show who is really in control.

HolmanJenkins Ah its really govts blinded by over hyped marketing report , ignoring obvious risks and got caught on business downturn . Boeing with only its professionals to lean on made the right call . Strategy wise professionals won over heads of state .

HolmanJenkins

HolmanJenkins Stupidity! So are the 747: examples of the limits of the social-democracy

HolmanJenkins Airbus's lesson..

HolmanJenkins Every successful economy is mixed one between a command economy + free market economy, neither form is stable by it self. Each nation just finds their own balance but too much either way is problematic

HolmanJenkins What malarkey. Like the Great Depression was lesson on capitalism. Like the war was a lesson on fixing broken capitalism.

HolmanJenkins Im too socialist to bother with the paywall this article is behind 😂

HolmanJenkins Wut

HolmanJenkins Private corporation fucks something up, must be socialism’s fault 😂😂😂 A spectre is haunting

HolmanJenkins

HolmanJenkins Government does such a great job running railroads you'd think they'd get the same results with airplanes. Oh wait. They did.
