they’re a major defense contractor, they’re basically untouchable …
Former employees get touched tho especially if they blow the whistle
Just corporatocracy things
I wonder what the game of the US army is then though. They can’t be interested in having their planes just fall apart or their bombs just go off at random. Letting Boeing get away with deliberately killing civillians through poor quality and QA will only let that culture leak into the military production branch too.
Two different sides of the company with different management, factories, and safety inspectors. The DOD will absolutely withhold billions of dollars in payment if they have to ground Boeing’s planes. Meanwhile the FAA finds safety issues with civilian jet production and allows them to continue at the current rate. So two entirely different accountability schemes too.
Statute of limitations is why they’re getting off.
It doesn’t seem to be guaranteed it’s passed. Someone is just guessing it has.
Which seems like the intended result of the extended investigations.
…aaaaaand they just had to scrub their new crew capsule final cert launch earlier today.
E: guys fr I don’t get how the c-suite hasn’t been federally indicted at this point, it’s that bad
As usual, corporations are people up to the moment it’s been discovered by the government that a crime has been committed.
I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.
Your honor, my client has instructed me to remind the court how rich and important he is & that he is not like other men
I should be able to run over as many kids as I want!
Shocked, shocked I am to find zero accountability for rich people.
