'm a bleeding-heart socialist, actually an anarchist, far to the left of Ralph Nader and I /still/ find his rhetorical style obnoxious and not useful.
We can have a discussion about how de-regulations and profit motives may have contributed to this disaster, we have even throw in ideas about regulations and corporate responsibility, but we have to recognize that software at this scale and or these purposes is hard, and there's no reason why the govt may be better at it than Boeing, and the discussion about what the risk/reward ratio should be for society as a whole is super complicated and we don't nec have a way to have it.
TLDR: I'm an anarcho-socialist programmer. Boeing may or may not be evil and de-regulation and the profit motive probably eff things up in the current socio-economic sphere, but Ralph Nader doesn't lend much to the conversation here.
