Well, there's also the South Carolina factor. Gosh...why would a major

It probably has more to do with government projects Boeing bids on.
The more states you have content coming from, the better chance you
get the bid through congress.

Boeing has made investments in damned near every state so they can
muscle the local pols.


Well, we need our military-industrial complex.

It is the US' main business enterprise.

Boeing, like many if not most "American" corporations, is really no
longer an "American" company.

So when mentioning military-industrial complex, it's probably best to
specify which country's, if possible.
Probably the unions' fault.
