    Yeah, it’s absolutely fucking tragic how McDD ended up zombifying Boeing after the latter acquiring the former - like a corporate ophiocordyceps unilateralis. They destroyed one of the most hardcore engineering-driven organizations in the world so they could get richer faster. Absolutely fucking travesty.

      Agreed, complete fucking travesty.

      As best I can tell, they also more or less also orchestrated the complete regulatory capture of the FAA, to rubber stamp and normalize their high bureaucracy, low actual safety and reliability paradigms.

      Oh right, they also uh, totally don’t assassinate whistleblowers.

      Totally don’t do that, nope, not at all, never.
