Goddamn. If there's ever a class action suit where the witnesses get leaked, we might see the first case of corporate serial killing...
Can we then finally have corporal punishment for corporations plz? Corporal corporate punishment.

MODERATORS
They want to be considered people to influence the government, they should be tried as people and everyone running it receives the same sentence.
Capital punishment for corporations. Revoke their business license and liquidate their assess.
Nationalize them.
We have so many monopolistic companies in the US that should have been nationalized years ago. It's one reason we can't have nice things.

Relevant ~~Onion~~ Hard Drive article: https://hard-drive.net/hd/politics/boeing-expresses-condolences-in-advance-of-second-whistleblowers-suicide/
That's from a week ago. Reality shouldn't be lapping satire this quickly.
Satire is dead, reality has long ago surpassed it.
Satire implies some humor. This is terrifying. I 100% believe this giant corporation murdered these people and other ones will try to do the same. It's like when Russia kills someone and barely tries to provide plausible deniability. Because there's no consequences and they'll get away with it anyway. And because they want to send a threatening message. We are literally living in a dystopia...

It's important to remember that Boeing isn't JUST a plane company, but a government contractor that does a massive amount of rocket work for the armed forces.
There are more people than stock holders that have a vested interest in Boeing.
Including just about every single person who promised and/or would end up being responsible for conducting an investigation on them. Boeing is basically above the law as long as they pay the fines levyed by the courts that are overwhelmingly on their side.
Wait until Trump gets into office and becomes a dictator "on day one only." This will be legal.

Lemme guess, they died of natural causes like gravity or something right?
Illness as confirmed by their mother.
Pneumonia and a MRSA infection, also suffered a stroke. I wonder if someone could weaponize MRSA, perhaps aerosolize it?
MRSA is just a version of staph aureus that is resistant to some common antibiotics. The antibiotic resistant version is common everywhere now since we use so much antibiotics. The antibiotic resistant version doesn't make someone sicker in and of itself than the non resistant version, it just doesn't respond to some antibiotics. From context I gather this was MRSA pneumonia.
Staph aureus lives on all of our skin, mouth and external surfaces. It's not like something you catch, it's something that's already there and takes advantage of an opening, like a wound, lungs already damaged by a recent flu virus or something, or a weakened immune system. It's common that people in the hospital get staph infections, because they're already there for something else making them sick that gives staph an opening. Strokes are also more common in hospitalized patients that are sick with other things. Strokes usually aren't directly related to an infection, but the pro inflammatory response can increase clotting and make a stroke more likely. Strokes also can inversely make pneumonia more likely, if you have trouble swallowing and saliva and secretions are going down the wrong tube, then it creates an easy way for bacteria from your mouth like staph to get to the lungs and start up a pneumonia.
Tldr: MRSA is on your skin right now, don't worry about it too much, don't overuse antibiotics
Ever woke up and noticed a small zit or pimple? Yep, that's likely a staph infection, although there might be some streptococcus in there as well. They probably also entered your blood stream, but got quickly eliminated by your immune system. It's all about the bacterial load.
Which is why you should not scratch wounds, even when they itch really bad. Here is a pic of my leg from almost a year ago, it got out of control because I kept scratching the wound and ignored the occasional flaring pain until it got so bad that I almost passed out when moving my leg. This is a combination of staph aureus and strep pyogenes when they really thrive in your wound. If those had been resistant strains, I would have been in a lot of trouble.

Or he just died. Gonna throw that out there as a possibility
It's possible. But corporations haven't changed in the past 100 years. Wizards of the Coast hired the Pinkertons, film studios have more power now than they ever did back when they were broken up with anti-trust laws, and children are still working in dangerous factories. It's not much of a stretch to believe that a massive military contractor would engage in some good old fashioned corporate assassination.

At his age it’s pretty normal to die from a stroke, if you are 20 years older.
Looks like the stroke was a complication from a systemic MRSA infection, which would not be my assassination agent of choice if I was trying to kill somebody on purpose, even if I did want it to look like an accident. MRSA only kills about 1 in 4 people infected with it, and many of those are people who are already hospitalized for some other serious illness. It strikes me as a rather low-probability way to kill a healthy adult.
I really hate it when this sort of thing happens. If you read into this particular death, it looks like a tragic series of unfortunate events and not anything nefarious. The earlier whistleblower death looked truly suspicious and I don't fault people for that one, but this one just isn't. Now this family is going to be dealing with a conspiracy and hounded by insane people while trying to grieve their loved one. I wish people could really look into these things instead of just reacting because Boeing has been sketchy lately.
The root of the problem is that the general lawlessness and the actual proven conspiracies make everyone rightly paranoid. If the govt didn't cause the crack epidemic, or didn't actually try brain control experiments on their own citizens, or didn't surveil literally everyone, this wouldn't happen.

i waa listening to the dollop (great podcast btw) and they talked about how organized crime in america was just replaced by corporations.
It’s gotta be the same trolls that visit every Boeing thread claiming accidents are the fault of the airport not the manufacturer. They are fucking relentless.
First off fuck Boeing. Second off. When a part falls off of a 30 year old plane it's typically because the airline that owns it fucked up in the maintenance of the plane, sometimes it's the manufacturer not stating a correct procedure, or having the stated intervals too long, but just as many aviation accidents have been caused by fuckups during maintenance.
Or sometimes manufacturers simply send a wrong manual which doesn't apply to your aircraft at all. And it turns out you have to order one from across the ocean because the whole continent got the wrong manuals. Don't ask how I know.
