"too big to fail" strikes again.
It's almost like we shouldn't have allowed things to get to the point where the world's passenger jet liners are only built by two companies. The M-D merger never should have been allowed.
- sitkack 3y agoThis is the real learning here, but this truth can't be talked about. Boeing is a symptom, not a cause.
- _heimdall 3y ago100% agree, though I don't know why we couldn't talk about it. Boeing is a massive corporation with both public and private contracts, employing a huge number of almost entirely well meaning employees. The government has allowed too many carve outs and exceptions as the company grew and now have no choice but to stay mostly quiet while the cracks in the company leadership and potentially culture put not only passengers and the airline industry at risk, but the very military we may need to be at full fighting force if Russia, China, Iran and co, etc decide to escalate.
