New York: Boeing executives are unlikely to be criminally charged over fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people as the statute of limitations has likely passed, US Justice Department officials told victims' family members in a meeting. Details were corroborated by a person familiar with the ga

    Bullshit, these fucks led to hundreds of terrified deaths in pursuit of profit alone.

    Accountants, engineers, manages, round em up and make them look through the wallets and personal possessions of the people who perished.

        No. As an engineer, I can and will vouch for building a larger, stronger chain of regret against greed, lest this type of shit happen again years down the line.

        The more people scarred by touching and feeling the results of their own greed and hubris, the longer it’ll be before we see such disregard for human life in an engineering firm.

      If the people who sacrifice others for their own gain are ever held to account then they will simply dismantle the law and remove any pretense of equality.

        The trick is how many more of us there are. The aristocracy seemed pretty complacent and untouchable, until one day when that changed.

        Not saying it’s gotta get to that point, but making people see the direct consequences of their greed would be so good for us all.

          Yeah, you can sometimes redress grievances through collective action, but don’t ever expect these people to be held accountable without that. That’s not what the “justice” system is for.

          Unfortunately, getting to that point is almost guaranteed. While I’m not advocating it, I just don’t see how a peaceful resolution to this issue is possible at this point.

          The people with the power to fix it peacefully directly benefit from things being the way they are, and they’ve been rigging the game so replacing them with someone who wants to do the right thing is nearly impossible.

          The question is how far will the 99% have to be pushed before the violence starts.

    Too big to fail companies should be dismantled. Either put those fucks in jail or take away their toys. This slap on the wrist shit is weak and it only encourages them to take dumber risks

    Lol that’s never going to happen. Boeing executives are not poor and they have access to company lawyers and funds.
