A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Maybe, but 10 million dollars is nothing to Boeing, and an awful lot for even an ethically driven person. Especially if they've been laid off and are in active lawsuits against a multi billion dollar corporation.
They can afford to stall as long as legally allowed, and the legal system is built to levy the scale in their favor. It's basically impossible for a person in this type of suit to have a normal life, and the corporations know that and try to exploit it as much as they can.
Suicide isn't timely, nor is it a logic based decision. Unfortunately it's fairly common for people to kill themselves at times people (especially their loved ones) would not initially expect.
