"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. "

I think a stronger interpretation would be that Boeing's management/corporate culture needs a dramatic shake-up.

Short of letting the company fail completely if left alone, nationalization might well be the best measure out of a long list of not-great measures to shore things up.

Not saying that it's the measure that should be chosen per-se, but as usual it's often better to be pragmatic than ideological at least.
