You couldn’t ask for a better summary of the purpose racism serves than planes falling apart because they’re making everything shittier and shittier and people going “I bet this is because of a Black guy!”

Watching the Gilded Age and them saying they can’t let people know a woman designed the bridge because men wouldn’t want to cross. Totally unrelated

I would be so owned if the most unpleasant people alive never got on a plane again

the whole “labor and class exclusive, a rising economy rises all races” alliance is going to look great when any failures in luxury communism are easily solved by firing minorities

A big part of the problem? "Moderates" refuse to explicitly diagnose the problem. Shareholder value fundamentalism & regulatory capture & monopoly control for starters. So then the public get a weak diagnosis ("greedy bosses") or false one (DEI) which either leads nowhere or is plain disinfo.

the shareholders r the greedy bosses

Amazing illustration of your point that you mention three systemic issues here and your replies are full of people saying 'it's this specific group of greedy shareholders who are personally to blame'

Indeed! Perhaps it's easier to feel morally superior than to think systematically? Yes, investors/CEOs are greedy. But they've always been so. The question is why has this become so problematic NOW? Since everyone is (at least a little bit) greedy, this diagnosis doesn't help guide useful policy.

Waiting for some enterprising right winger to start Patriot Planes, a company that makes planes by and for Real Patriots(tm).

This won’t happen because you can’t buy planes in bulk from AliExpress yet.

They're not hamstrung with safety regulation at all! In fact, we don't hire engineers because they're all "science this" and "science that."

the parasite class has always fostered racism for this very reason

As outrageous as this is more people are outraged by the lack of Oscar nominations for the Barbie movie. That’s the world we live in.

mostly agree but it seems a little incomplete to say it's a perfect summary of *the* reason

Racism serves no purpose. Blame the system, not individuals.

Racism absolutely serves a useful purpose for the people in charge of “the system.” It keeps the working class divided against itself, and it’s being deployed even less subtly now, as they blame “DEI” for their own failures.

I can see why you would think it serves no purpose since you seem to think the system exists without the people to enforce it.

It's not an opinion. The system is the people who enforce it. Wake up.

Faulty fuselage sent by Spirit in Wichita to Boeing Seattle.
Avatar
no apparently it had the plug removed in renton at boeing before being shipped to alaska (according to a Boeing whistleblower)

"If nothing is amiss, there’s no need for Boeing to do anything more than visually check the door plug, which is fully installed in the fuselage when it arrives in Renton by train from Wichita. Opening it up is not normal procedure."
Avatar
I don't recall reading that correctly installed plugs were removed, then reinstalled without the 4 bolts and seal that were on the floor.

Right wing backlash against “DEI” has infected plane crash discourse. Basically people are claiming that the woke mob is making airlines hire unqualified pilots and mechanics to meet racial quotas or something. The fact that this is obvious nonsense doesn’t seem to bother them.
