new york CNN — At its core, the Boeing strike that began Friday is a story of what happens when stingy executives lose sight of the plan and it becomes up to workers to get everyone back on track. Boeing didn’t make a profit last year. In fact, the plane maker has lost money every year since 2018, when a series of deadly and near-disaster crashes hit rock bottom for its reputation and finances.

Watching the Yankees-Red Sox game this week brought back some particularly fond memories for me, because I remember what it was like back then: those two teams were like Athens and Sparta, in the words of the great Peter Gammons, and every game they played seemed to affect the dynamics of the entire sport.

But it happened. I have to accept this story. And now, all…
