Did society decide this distribution of resources? Or was it lobbying?
- ncmncm 5y agoOur society, as presently organized, delegates that choice to lobbyists. That is one failing. The problem with the FAA vs Boeing is not that the system is designed around the (correct!) assumption that the public's and FAA's interests, on one hand, and Boeing's interests on the other are aligned. This failure cost Boeing enormously! What was not aligned were Boeing's interests and Boeing upper management interests. The pervasive failure of our society to force CxOs to align with the companies they run and with society at large is much bigger than just in aviation. That some pilot was indicted, but not the management he was responsive to, is a glaring indicator of this failing.
