The only enterprises that don't make money are charities or the government, by definition business have to make money or they can't carry on their business.
Agreed. At first I thought Alexbc was trying to be ironic. But reading! all! the! other! posts! by! him! or her! I guess not. Not sure how anybody could be that wrong about what business Boeing is in. Making money. It is their fiduciary duty. Their legal obligation. If they could do that by selling planes that cause people to get addicted to opioids they would. Because the penalty is less than the profit.
