Oh come on … this is a multi-year fixed priced contract … keywords are ”multi-year” and “fixed-price”. Pretty sure this contract has pages of “Change of Scope” clauses. “Change of Scope” — if a requirement wasn’t in the original contract, or a requirement needs to be revised, Boeing will tell you how much each change will cost.
Fixed price contracts are like home building contracts … you select a model, paint, lighting, rugs, applipliances, etc. You think you’ve thought of everything but no one ever does.
Only stupid Republicans would think that ALL the requirements have been specified at the start of the project and the initial cost will be the final cost. Like all fixed-priced contracts, the price will go up as new requirements and changes are identified.

With the savings Boeing gets from the big corporate tax cut, plus the extra orders from other corporations that have some extra cash to spend now - I’d say they had some room to negotiate off the earlier “estimate of about $4 billion” (which, of course, was never a firm contract price anyway).

[/quote]Actually, you can’t properly refer to the bald expanse as a “spot.” There are, however, a couple of small hair spots.

The agreement includes the two 747-800 aircraft, and the cost of modifying the commercial planes with the equipment needed to support the president, including external stair, large galleys, and a secure communications suite.
Galleys appropriate to reheat a KFC Large order.

Interesting. The British government was able to convert a plane for royal and prime ministerial duties for much less
In November 2015, it was announced the government would fit VIP seating to a Royal Air Force Airbus Voyager aircraft for use for carrying the prime minister, government officials and members of the Royal Family.[11] The Voyager refit and operation will cost £10 million which is believed will save £775,000 a year on the cost of Downing Street flights as charter flights will no longer be necessary. The new arrangement is expected to cost around £2,000 per flying hour as opposed to £6,700 for long-haul charter. The refit will include a secure satellite communications system, missile detection and 158 passenger seats. The aircraft will retain the Royal Air Force livery and continue its primary duties refuelling when not in use by the government.[12]

Maybe Boeing will throw in two more umbrellas for his wife and son to use while he protects his remaining hairs from blowing away.

He’s probably already got a “plan” to claim that he gets to keep them, then offer to buy them, then declare bankruptcy immediately upon the “sale”. Don’t forget – he’s a genius businessman, so the rest of us can’t understand those things.

I have heard that it takes “Executive Time” (1.5 hours) to wrangle his existing hairs into the proper and, to him, acceptable arrangement. I expect it takes considerable hair spray and assistance from another individual to shellac everything down. Now, I am no authority on hair sprays but I would not be surprised if he didn’t have a special “NDA” relationship with a large manufacturer so that he could purchase his preferred brand in bulk.

But that shouldn’t be a big problem, right? We don’t expect that there will be any advances in technology that might change the scope of the project prior to 2021, do we? Wait, WHAT?

Every image of young Barron that I have seen causes me concern. He does not seem to smile or be enjoying himself in the slightest. Now, my grandson is close to Barron’s age and nearly every picture I have of him shows a young man who is happy, smiling and enjoying life. Look at Barron… no smile. He’s turned away from his parents… surprising he’s not in a suit as his dad apparently demands.

Hmmm. Just under the $4B mark that he complained about. I wonder when the items that were eliminated to get the bid below that number will be sneaked back into the contract without public fanfare. This orange-faced shitgibbon is Super Weasel.

We amateur psychiatrists have taken to diagnose Barron, and we come up with “He’s not happy being the center of the attention.” No WH kid has ever been, but I think Barron is maybe the most uncomfortable I’ve ever seen. His father ignores him, his mother clings to him to try to protect him, he couldn’t possibly relate to his siblings much since they’re all so much older, so we see one unhappy boy.
trumpian math is based on alt-fact reality.
