Boeing, a leading aerospace company, finds itself in a precarious financial situation, as highlighted by a recent tweet from CNBC. The tweet quotes Jim Cramer, a well-known financial analyst, stating that Boeing "will run out of money" if it is not "saved". This serious warning underscores the financial instability that the company is currently facing.

In response, journalist Julia Ioffe added a touch of sarcasm with her tweet, "Maybe Boeing should’ve thought of that before having all that avocado toast." This quip seems to mock the company's financial decisions and spending habits, suggesting that they prioritized trivial expenses over sustainable financial planning.

The image capturing these tweets, with its black background and contrasting white text, has sparked a myriad of reactions online. Many users expressed their opinions on the situation. One user questioned if Boeing has considered suing people who don't buy their planes, while another suggested that the company should fail or transfer its assets to the state.

The sentiment among the public seems to reflect frustration with corporate America's tendency to socialize losses while capitalizing gains. A user highlighted this by pointing out how large corporations receive bailouts despite poor management, whereas individuals facing financial difficulties receive no such support.

Additionally, some commenters proposed solutions such as reducing the CEO's salary, referencing a recent Associated Press article about Boeing's CEO compensation. The link to the article provides further context on how executive pay is perceived in light of the company's current financial woes.

The discussion also touched on past instances of government bailouts for the airline industry, with one user listing the years 2001, 2008, and 2020 as examples. There is a shared sentiment that poor management should not be rewarded with taxpayer money, especially when it leads to severe consequences like those seen with Boeing's 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner debacles.

Overall, the captured tweets and subsequent reactions shed light on the broader issue of corporate financial management and accountability. As Boeing navigates this challenging period, the public's scrutiny and criticism are likely to persist, fueled by voices like Jim Cramer and Julia Ioffe.

Corporate America, capitalize all the gains, socialize all the losses.

Let them fail or transfer assets to the state

Just so everyone has this straight, if you personally run out of money, that is a personal moral failing on your part. If a large corporation runs out of money they "have hit a rough patch" and we should all give them money so they don't "have to" lay off all their staff and cause a bigger economic fallout.

Sure, Boeing wants a public money bail out… But do you remember back when they were making huge profits and they shared it with all of us in the form of more spacious airplane seating and lower cost tickets? Y'all don't remember that? ...yeah. Me Neither. F*** 'em.
