Yanks, isn't it about time to call in some favours, from New York crime families, MS13 or something, to bypass that corporate captured policies of yours, by going to some of the Boeing execs homes, tying them to chairs and applying car batteries to nipples?

I mean if they're sharks, they're sharks. They don't know no better. But if you start working their thumbs...

Sure but an engine cover falling off is hardly Boeing's fault, that's a maintenance problem. The thing is a lot of these reported failures are maintenance issues, sure Boeing has their problems absolutely, but they also make the most common type of aircraft in the world. Inevitably there are going to be problems and most of those problems will be with the most common aircraft, because, by definition, there are more of them than any other type.

They've hired Matt Stone and Trey Parker to do an apology video.

The government and « mafia » (as organized crime) are so alike we could wish for one another.

The US government maybe, but then again it's been captured by a bunch of oligarchs who thrive off CRT and capture more law than a stenographer at congress. This is why yanks are pretty blind to what a government can be and can't be, and buddy, you've got an enshitified government - which is by design. Nothing like making ordinary people hate government and law, so you can capture said government and law. Hook, line and sinker.

You should just call it the US Government, designed by US corporate, as the whole name, just to be honest with yourself.
