2 trillion dollars for a plane that can’t fly in rain.

What kind of sorcery is this, we ask again?

You know how we all found out that Boeing had dry rotted from the inside because the 737 Max started falling apart? Whose to say that Lockheed hasn't gone through exactly the same shit, but we just barely get glimpses of it through the smoke of classified documents.
