They might start sending assassins to threaten their buyers soon

This is definitely more plausible than their improving build quality

What year is it? The 737 Max was a certified death trap since 2018.

They'll just sack some more engineers to cut costs, and hire more sales & marketing.

More sales people to handle all the sales they’re not getting?

MaggiWuerze ,

An engineer makes engines and a sales persons makes sales, right?

Actually a sailor makes sales.

Unlike a lot of sectors though, Airbus knows what they're doing and is a high profile alternative, and unlike the US, hasn't yet completely internalized our sociopathic greed disease to our degree, despite the global economic pressure we inflict on other nations encouraging them to betray and cause harm to their own societies and citizens if it means an extra nickel of short term private profit.

Don't worry though, the UK has fallen to the greed disease, and our capitalists are bribing and coercing their way eastward, and they won't stop until they either are physically stopped by something like climate change, or successfully make the world forget that Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

Ah I see you're an optimist.

I have just come to acceptance with who we are, and enjoy the accidental poetry of our reckless worship of greed/gluttony/growth/metastasis being our, accelerating going by the latest science still going on deaf ears, end.

I also enjoy all the very corporate culture like bargaining that's going on with cold, hard, unflinching physics. Oh we won't make our non-binding emissions goals and grid standards, so we'll just roll those back, the climate will understand!

We're tackling our own self-inflicted, reverse terraforming climate disaster with the stages of grief because we refuse to stop and change how we live to find homeostasis with this world, so this isn't going to end well, and just like with clean coal/corn ethanol/plant a tree offsets/planet scale carbon scrubbers and all the other private profit driven snake oil "solutions," we aren't going to science up a magic bullet to save us from the epically irresponsible actions of our epically irresponsible species.

In-fuckin-deed. All the talk about "carbon capture" schemes makes my skin crawl.

Well it's either that or delusional parasitosis that makes my skin crawl, but anyhow.

Of all the Dystopias, I think we're closest to Elysium at the moment.

I see The Road primarily, but I could also give a nod to The Road Warrior..

Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

What complete gutter trash talk. Economies serve the master of mankind.

Allonzee ,

If by mankind you mean about 30kish sociopath families on the backs of billions and to the detriment of the long term climate our only habitat, then sure.

And to be fair, those 30kish sociopath families would largely agree they're the only mankind that counts.

Sorry about my gutter trash mouth btw, I'll work on that.

1998 Hell in a cell reference, yeah? That's the only thing that coherents up this comment

Also Boeing is buying back it's fuselage supplier that it originally spun of into it's own business (because it wasn't profitable for Boeing back then).

The problem now is that supplier also makes fuselages for Airbus. So Boeing is gonna be making them for Airbus...

Oof. Oligopolies/duopolies shouldn't exist, but here we are.

stuff them into a sack maybe

motor_spirit ,

they need to make a reality show out of what it looks like to be held accountable and go through the justice system, using some of these soulless pieces of shit as examples. showcase the turmoil of the disgraced family torn apart and offer no help. the public can laugh at their pain the same way they certainly laugh at the issues of the common people they neglect and oppress.

Essentially John Oliver’s episode on Boeing.

Fine when the government steps in to bail them out.
