And this is why defunding the regulation of critical industries is bad.
Boeing is largely self-regulating on the safety department, which cost hundreds of lives recently.
Here’s an older podcast episode that was recorded shortly after Max disasters, safety issues were systemically and intentionally ignored: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whistle-blowers-at-boeing/id1200361736?i=1000436137931
Well yeah we learned with the MCAS crashes that when they bought McDonnell Douglas they actually bought the toxic profits over everything else culture too.
This is not news. Boeing needs a microscope shoved down it’s throat if we’re to continue letting them make planes.
McDonnell bought Boeing with Boeing’s money.
That seems to be how it actually played out yeah.
That is a ridiculous statement, it’s probably also true 🙄.
