The collapse of Airbus
The European Union's aircraft company Airbus, Boeing's main surviving rival, has been so weakened by internal squabbling and political interference as to prompt speculation that its break-up is a possibility. Delays in the development of its new flagship civilian and military planes have led to loss of business and accusations of hubris. The problems at Airbus illustrate the overall weaknesses of the EU -- bureaucracy, unaccountability, central planning, political micromanagement -- which make it poorly equipped to deal with the fast-paced modern world, and increasingly implausible as a rival to the US.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
