The entire top management of Boeing needs to removed and proscecuted for endangering the lives of millions while destroying a key industrial capacity of the USA. They should be replaced by people with engineering and safety mentalities.

The Guardian · Boeing’s largest plant in ‘panic mode’ amid safety crisis, say workers and union officialsBy Michael Sainato

@rberger That'd be nice. I'd like to think it would be achievable to say Boeing is no longer allowed to sign its own safety certificates, but who knows these days?

@rberger Let's start by rebutting the dangerous (and legally incorrect) Milton Friedman regime of "shareholder value".

@rberger This seems true of every private equity firm in existence.

@rberger
Boeing is where nepotism takes us. College buddies, friends and relatives aren't necessarily the people who can best run a business, and the US is the least upwardly mobile society in the Global North, and the least meritocratic. In the last 40 or 50 years, the US has replaced the heads of its corporation with incompetents and outright criminals.

@rberger Ooooh, slippery slope, watch your step there.
