Inside you there are two wolves.

One of you wants to see Boeing planes explode as a demonstration of the failures of capitalism.

The other one remembers that this means the passengers have to die.

Maybe it could be a military plane?

This but a trolley problem meme

There are times where being as broke as I am and never flying does have its advantages. Not going out in a Boeing related fireball is one of them

Glad I'm flying home on an Airbus today

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.

Literally why I flew Frontier, apart from not wanting to deal with LAX

[-] someone@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

I've just decided to simply not fly anymore. Bus, trains, driving myself, sure. But I'm no longer leaving the ground.

well why, comrade, there is always the trusty, reliable helicopter or V-22 Osprey for you to travel large distances by air

I dunno about you loony leftists but I trust Boeing to ferry me off this murdered planet to mars.

Or at the very least off this mortal coil and away from this thoroughly enshittified plane of existence!

Agent 47 rubbing his hands together somewhere, knowing there are about to be a litany of new ~~whistleblowers~~ targets

I wonder how much value this brings to shareholders?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 15 points 6 months ago

Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Osama’s real failure is not using his Saudi family to invest heavily into Boeing then sabotaging it from the inside

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
