Capitalism views maintenance as an expense, not revenue-in.
This probably has nothing to do with maintenance. The plane was only two months old. Enough for some inspections, but nobody would suspect or look for cracks in the fuselage at that point. So it's probably a manufacturing issue.
Capitalism views quality control as an expense, not revenue-in.
Anything views quality control as an expense.
Are you even listening to yourself?
There is a vocal segment of Lemmy that can ONLY frame the world through the lens of class warfare and nothing else. That's why they hijack every topic and thread with the same rhetoric. They have no plan, guidance or recommendations on what to do. They are only here to inform us about the ills of capitalism as if the collective psyche woke up yesterday and forgot all of history. They are so enlightened and privileged that they can't help themselves in their need to share this valuable knowledge with everyone else. Capitalism bad. That's it. Then they scuttle off to the next thread and start over. That's the extent of "the Revolution".
Yes god thank you.
I thought I was going crazy, every single thread that's even remotely (very remotely) connected to politics is full of this.
I'm seriously worried for the platform, because this shit is going to turn people off hard.
Even saw someone suggesting an assassination of a supreme court justice AND PEOPLE WERE FUCKING DEFENDING IT. The mods removed the comment luckily, but I still managed to get like 30 downvotes on a "don't suggest assassinations, be better than them" comment, just check my history.
We're becoming fucking Truth Social or Parler or whatever of the left.
I feel like it's too late for Lemmy. The echo chamber is already pretty strong. I hope I'm wrong.
the flagship instance is lemmy.ml
the software is made by tankies.
did you think this place was politically neutral? the whole fediverse is a fuck you to the status quo.
To be honest, I have nothing against socialists. I consider myself a soc Dem. I have many friends that are socialists. My issue is with how shallow and superficial the conversation is. Of your whole world thesis starts and ends with class warfare, there simply isn't much to discuss. There are no prescriptions- just empty rhetoric. At the end of the say it's horseshoe anti-establishment.
I'm trying to break through the echo chamber whenever I come across it, but it's a thankless endeavor, and I'm pretty close to giving up.
There's dozens of us haha. I think more people are tired of the empty rhetoric because it's not getting the same traction it used to. My suspicion is it's like the same three people posting the same comment everywhere.
I mean, I don't advocate political assassinations, but I also recognize that the SC really doesn't have any avenues for the people to remove a judge other than violence.
A lot of problems would be solved if the people could call votes of no confidence.
You can recognize it without suggesting anything, that's completely fine in my book.
And yeah agreed, it's stupid that there's no mechanism like that
Just as annoying are the "cars are bad" people who crawl out of the woodwork every time a car is mentioned.
Cars would kill you and everyone you love, if given the chance.
Are you a bot?
Aircraft maintenance is heavily regulated. This was a new plane, and the result of the failure is that all planes of that type have been grounded.
There are plenty of issues caused by corporate greed and lack of regulation as it is, but this isn't one of them.
The story of the 737 MAX is corporate greed. It's just by Boening, not the operator. However, the operators heavily influence the choices by Boening.
When corporations capture the government, the 737 MAX happens.
Actually, you make my point. Without regulation that was outside the hands of capitalists, they wouldn't have been grounded. Capitalism only cares about profits. Thank hell, that there are a few regulations left, right?
