We live in deeply corrupt times where corporations have taken over large chunks of the mechanisms of state that are meant to regulate them. Nationalising it or asking for regulatory intervention isn't going to solve it because its one big club. This isn't just about Boeing, there are criminal corporations openly abusing customers, their staff and buying the government avoiding consequences every day. The electoral system ensures its nearly impossible to fix especially since this collective interest runs the media too. I do not see a way to fix such widespread corruption of democracy especially since its happened throughout the western world and dawned a new age of Feudalism and populism.
