There is a bunch of FUD being thrown around in this thread and in the interest of Truth, here is a PSA;
1. Use the Wikipedia Page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_MAX_groundings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_MAX_groundings as your starting point for understanding the details. This article and more and better ones are all listed here.
2. This article from The Verge is the best for the layperson to get the overall picture of all the issues involved: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/2/18518176/boeing-737-max-crash-problems-human-error-mcas-faa https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/2/18518176/boeing-737-max-cr... Note that "Human Error" mentioned here refers to everything from Boeing Management, Marketing, Sales and Training.
3. Article on Department of Transportation Inspector General's scathing report on how Boeing misled FAA and everybody else : https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/inspector-general-slams-boeing-for-holding-back-information-on-737-max/139102.article https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/inspector-general-sl...
4. Remarks from "Allied Pilots Association" : https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-apa-head-questions-training-engineering-faa-oversight-2019-6?r=US&IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-apa-head-ques...
Boeing's previous suggestion that pilot error may have caused the crashes "offended" members of the APA, Carey said, as he criticized suggestions from some in the media that training standards may have been lower in the countries where the crashes occurred.
"To make the claim that these accidents would not happen to US-trained pilots is presumptuous and not supported by fact. Vilifying non-US pilots is disrespectful and not solution-based, nor is it in line with a sorely needed global safety culture that delivers one standard of safety and training."
He also said that Ethiopian Airlines has a simulator for the 737 Max, while no US airlines do.
