One more reason to rally - Boeing to Cut 5,000 More Jobs in 2003 Wednesday November 20, 7:12 pm ET By Chris Stetkiewicz SEATTLE (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - News), the world's largest aircraft maker, said on Wednesday it would cut 5,000 commercial jet jobs in 2003, on top of 30,000 workers fired in 2002 after the Sept. 11 hijack attacks pummeled its airline customers. Boeing expects to slash jetliner output to 275 to 285 units in 2003, nearly a 50-percent decline from the 527 jets delivered in 2001. The company plans to deliver about 380 aircraft this year. biz.yahoo.com I am not sure if WS can even evaluate how much high tech goes into an airplain, not to mention the actual structure of an airplane. I think BA multiplier effect is somthing like 6 or 8 - e.g for each BA worker 6 or 8 others have work

that no longer surprises me. for quite a long time private healthcare in the US was demonstrably better than public healthcare in Canada - i am canadian by citizenship, have lived on and off - mostly on - in the US for nearly two decades. in the past few years that has started to change. what is happening now is the psuedo-socialization of healthcare and quality, in my experience, is deteriorating. whether your soul is owned by a/the federal government or by an extraordinarily huge and rigid "private company" - ie HMO - makes little difference, both are for all practical purposes socialized healthcare and the two people most responsible for primary care - the patient and the doctor - are exactly the people with the least input into the process. since the trend is towards fewer providers, not more, the problem will worsen going forward. i also happen to live in a neighborhood that provides me some of the finest healthcare available anywhere on the planet, if i'm seeing deterioration i can only imagine what it is getting to be like for people living in less "fortunate" environments.
