    I am curious, what would be the point of killing him besides payback?

    Like the info is out there now, but I’d bet my kidney it won’t lead to anything, no regulations or fines or nothing, if anything killing him just leads to more attention to this which is anything increases the chances the neolib establishment will feel compelled to at least pretend to do something about it.

    I’ve honestly wondered this about a lot of things. Like I sometimes wonder why they bothered killing Epstein, he could have shown video of Trump and Clinton in the act at trial and it’s not like it would have resulted in either of them going to jail. I doubt Trump would have even lost any support, the two of them might as well have just admitted they fucked kids, it’s not like it matters. Let the piggy squeal nobody can do anything about it.

      Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel. He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

      Thats why

        Yeah but why would it matter, a dude could leak that they fuel the jet with babies the CEO personally strangled to death and nothing would happen. I’m surprised corporations don’t even bother with hiding this shit anymore, might as well just publish it every fiscal quarter.

          I know right, it’s like they are scared to really test the limits of their power. I think they could bring back the right to bed your wife on your wedding night and still nothing would happen.

      It’s to instill terror. It sets an example to others that might come forwards with more.

      There are a lot of workers who will know more about this but every single one of them will be wary that saying anything will result in this now.

          My assumption would be that the company has a lot of contractual commitments with other companies. They could be buried in lawsuits or contracts they have could become void.

            Yeah just because the US government’s regulatory enforcement is neutered doesn’t mean United Airlines lawyers can’t pounce on breaches of contract and extract shitloads of money

              The biggest one would be sales that they’ve made but not yet fulfilled becoming void due to potential breaches of contract I assume. Or everyone with existing sold planes wanting money back.

    Boeing makes a lot of shit for the defense industry and drives a lot of weapons exports as well. Could see the spooks having a hand in this but then again I blame the cia for everything 🤷

    That’s crazy. All this bullshit is very obviously because Boeing is cutting corners. If you work in aerospace manufacturing and you make/check something out of spec and a plane goes down for it and they tie it back to you, there’s a good chance you’re gonna do time for it. Big incentive to not fuck around on the job. These executives don’t even live in the same world as the rest of us they’re just gonna kill this guy without a second thought and they’re gonna do it so sloppily it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.

    • they’re gonna do it so sloppily it’s like they’re not even trying to hide it.

      It being sloppy works as a way to warn other potential whistleblowers, while maintaining plausible deniability

    All right, I’m definitely not flying in Boeings anymore. That’s some gangster ass shit.

    Can you check a plane’s manufacturer when buying a ticket? Of course, they may just switch at the last minute.

    It said the 62-year-old had died from a “self-inflicted” wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

    Pathetic reporting from slimey media removed as usual neglects to report the death as suspicious when it very clearly is. In a just world, this would result in an immediate investigation, but in this world, the police know who did it and they are protecting them.

    Thinking about how everyone and their mother jumped to say Navalny was murdered despite there being literally zero evidence other than vaguely suspicious circumstances and questionable motivation.

    In this case there is both clear motivation and painfully suspicious timing.

      Also, a corpse with a gunshot wound…

      Navalny’s death appears to have been natural or at least a very subtle method

    So anyway I just got my 737-Max stickers in the mail and I don’t know if this makes them more or less tasteful. Good time to put one on my car or bad time?

      libs will surely jerk themselves raw over this guy killed for corporate interests just like they did for the other guy recently killed for corporate interests (russian)

        Navalny was the pro-corporate interest candidate. He wasn’t killed for corporate interests, if he was killed it was for treason and betraying the state and people
