    I never thought I’d see the day when a respectable blue chip company like Boeing is publicly outed as ordering an assassination. They fucked up royally. The timing of it all is too eyebrow raising not to be noticed by the entirety of the airplane-using world. Top down criminal investigation. Now.

        In America it used to be you could just bribe your governor and they’d deploy the national guard to kill striking worker’s families like the Ludlow Massacre and the Battle of Blair mountain.

        I mean, there have been several huge instances of mass murder by corporations. Go look into the US’ history with strikebreaking and you’ll see just how bad it used to be. At least Boeing is trying to pretend it was a suicide, instead of just blatantly firebombing him in his own home.

      well your first mistake was thinking Boeing was a respectable corporation (that ship sailed in 1997 when they dropped the “engineering first” priority in lieu of “business first”)…

      your second mistake is thinking any corporation is respectable ;-)

        Their third mistake is thinking any corporation will be held accountable

          Oh, you got caught doing some shitty business thing and now you’re not making as much money. Here is a government bailout to make it up.

        lol you’re right.

        In other news, if you search for flights on kayak and exclude Boeing planes, holy crap the tickets are insanely expensive.

      Boeing is a major part of the military industrial complex. They own the politicians in both parties, the regulators, and the courts. Laws don’t apply to them.

      Why does this surprise you that a company, a large company, would order an assassination of someone? This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

      At the end of which some low level schmuck will be thrown under the bus and they will be fined a few million dollars grand total for all this shit.
