Do you believe Jeffery Epstein Killed himself, or was told to kill himself?

I dont think this is a fair comparison, because Epstein had direct information that would've been extraordinarily bad for several billionaires

Boeing execs are super rich, and they will be sad if they go to jail, but they're effectively nobodies compared to Epstein's clients

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

There’s literally no consequences to Boeing outsourcing production and knowingly being complicit that the contractor was making absolute poo poo. Worst case scenario is TO BIG TO FAIL they’ll get a huge government bailout, the CEO will be “forced out” with a huge golden parachute severance package and all the people who died or were injured will never be able to get compensation because they don’t have money to fight a long lawsuit

Welcome to America

You're far too pessimistic.

obviously part of his grand conspiracy. first this guy sabotages boeing's planes for years and then he kills himself, all to make them look bad. some people just hate freedom and our way of life!

On the one hand, the whistleblower talked publicly about safety issues a few years ago, so if Boeing actually wanted to assassinate him, they shouldn't have done it now with all the negative attention & press on them recently, it'd be really stupid to risk even more coverage or scrutiny.

On the other hand, I'll quote my OSHA post about Boeing's brand new tankers being delivered straight to the USAF already damaged, due to them leaving tools in the fuel tanks, so they probably are just that stupid.

My biggest regret in my professional life is never getting involved with government contract work. I always assumed you needed to be incredibly competent and that failure would yield significant consequences.

These things dont happen explicitely but rather through a series of vague and impossible orders that trickle down from the top.

“Just fix it! I dont care how” goes from boss to subordinate down the chain until someone particularly ambitious and has friends in low places goes “I can fix it.”

Asking questions is asking for complicity, so of course no one does.

So the execs see the news and heads roll internally (not theirs lol) because of course they meant “when I said fix it I didnt mean it like that!”

And by “like that” they meant making national news. Not the killing part

Hows that for cynical? (all true though)

Society is geared to basically not do it ever again, it's an industrial grade resource extractor and everyone not a billionaire is the feedstock getting shoveled in feet first

Like what, is somebody going to blow up the state of the union? That would just change the stage dressing and drop the smaller governments into martial law. All those losers are bought and sold like trading cards in the first place.

Problem is to fuel these lifestyles they gotta keep shoveling until they're busting up every other thing and throwing it in the furnace. Until the people actually shoveling can't deny to themselves that it's other people going in. Then you get people starting to snap, so you need to build more ways to stretch this out.
