We're going to war with you, Chang. ;)
This economy is crashing with no survivors

>there are still people who think this was an accident
the school shutdown really did a number on this place
I hope America does so fat man can get told properly to fuck right off, with that extra bit of Chinese hospiceality.
Wow. I thought airlines would be doing so well. What a perfect example of an average business you chose to represent the economy as a whole.
These companies have 500-1000 planes.
A new 737 costs 2-3 billion fully equipped.
>durr, why donts da plane peeples have 1-3 trillion dollarydoos?
Gas yourself for the future iq of the planet.
Every airline does that.
And guess what they did with that revenue.
They didn't invest it in the company.
They just used it for stock buy backs.
A plane costs about 200-250M USD. If an airline needs about 200 airplanes, you do the calculation.
That would need a huge effort to sell shares to the market and many wall street investors dislike companies with a huge portion of its holdings on hard assets that has upkeep costs and suffers loss of value over time. A lease contract also gives more freedom to upgrade your fleet with newer models.
You don't go to war with bugs, you exterminate them.
