Some motherfuckers need to go to jail.

This is good, and important, but what I really want to hear about is consequences for individuals who made decisions, not a corporate entity negotiating a plea.

Their whole exec team needs to go. Move the HQ back to a Seattle and become an Engineering first company again.

executives need fucking jail time

Until 34-felon & SCOTUS pardons them. (You think I'm kidding?)

Ralph Nader was screaming from the rooftops for years about Boeing. Too bad they didn't listen.

Too bad Ralph Nader didn't stay in his fucking lane in 2000 instead of undoing most of the good he did in his career prior by helping put an oil tycoon in office instead of an environmentalist.

Whenever I mention this, more often than not, someone posts a link to one of those stupid articles that "prove" Nader didn't throw it by pointing to how many Clinton voters voted for Bush. But that doesn't fucking mean anything! The margin was <1000!

Also, they stopped the count. In Jeb Bush's state. Which deactivated thousands of voters' registrations based on cross checking names of convicted felons in Texas, W's State. Nothing shady, tho.

Yeah, nothing shady about one of Bush's campaign chairs also being Florida's Secretary of State, the person in charge of overseeing elections.

hundreds of people dead get charged with fraud, not manslaughter.

Are we saying a corporation has agency to commit a crime? Why not charge the individuals responsible? Seeing a few CEOs behind bars might be a good deterrent to corporate misdeeds.

Fraud? How about manslaughter? They should be effing grounded, lose all military contracts, and those responsible should go to trial for manslaughter AND pay the victims’ families.
Avatar
What does it mean to charge a company with a crime? As opposed to individuals?
Avatar
This is why corporations aren’t people. They get to kill people and never go to prison.
Avatar
If you really want to punish them make them choose between pleading guilty and flying on a 737-MAX.

Is the fine big enough to make the fraud unprofitable?

They should be charging the individuals responsible for these decisions with fraud!

Is the 737-MAX still being used in any company?
Avatar
It’s one of the most widely-used aircraft in the world…

It's not entirely Boeing's fault. Let's not forget that one of the regulations that Trump's fat ass brags about is the one where the FAA has to sign off on planes as being safe to fly. Konservatives think that bidnesses kan do that on their own.

So they'll be fined, what, $3?

The CEO and entire BOD should go to prison.

oh no, a fine. also, didn't they have monitors and Boeing was too influential and they just ended up shilling for Boeing? something like that.
