The thing that strikes me about the Boeing MAX story is that executives made decisions which they were told over and over again would put lives in danger, and so far the likely monetary damages are so small the stock is completely unfazed, and criminal prosecution is a distant, all-but-impossible notion.
- djsumdog 7y agoI don't think the majority of people understand how deep this problem went. Back when they were first grounded, we saw stuff on HN nearly every week. I don't think it got much place elsewhere. Many of my friends are really unaware of how serious the Boeing situation is. Same thing for back when Uber had a new scandal (grey ball, harassment memo, hell map, hiring Eric Holder to run damage control, the other harassment memo). I'd tell friends I refused to use Uber and they were mostly unaware of half of that stuff.
