Its getting more and more intense for Boeing.
Their stock is still going strong tho. Defense contracts are a hell of a crutch.
I suspect people are expecting that they'll get absolutely rinsed by various investigations then get a massive federal bailout cos they are too strategically important to allow them to go bankrupt
Any federal bailout is going to come with shareholder pain. Not a chance in hell the feds just dump money into Boeing without making serious demands
i dont think it will get to the need for bailouts. They will throw some low level management to the wolves then replace some execs. The regulators already gave them the ability to audit themselves.
They have a habbit of spending billions on stock buybacks to keep their prices high 🫠
Wake me when its time to short Boeing, maybe put some on Lockheed if they absorb their active defense divisions, lol
i've been holding lockheed in the red for a a while.
It recently turned green
Iron triangle, soon a square with Elon
If I were a passenger I'd ask the FBI for protection and application to the witness relocation program...
They killed the whistleblower after the whistle was blown, so maybe they would.
Edit: I wrote should. What the fuck is wrong with me?
Boeing is putting stuff into your water clearly.
They're everywhere! We're doomed!
The chemtrails! It was Boeing all along!
Do you really want the Internet to answer that question?
Trust me, you're not the right person to tell me what the fuck is wrong with me considering I'm going to the Mayo Clinic on Monday.
Good luck, and get well soon!
Thanks!
It's so strange how all 171 passengers and 6 crew Members all committed suicide! All roughly around the same time frame.
From the headline I thought some agent just jumped up in the middle of the flight and announced there had been a crime like some cheesy cop show.
"Quick, do you have a structured settlement and need cash NOW?"
"CALL J.G. WENTWORTH -- 877-CASH-NOW!!!!"

Was this the most successful ad campaign for something most people never even think about?
If we go by Lemmy and Reddit metrics, then absolutely 😁
That ultra-whiney "now" at the end is just a perfect way to cap it off 🤌🤌
I know, did the passengers catch mesothelioma?
I don't think they've used asbestos in airplanes for at least a couple of years.
The lights go out and when they come back on, the whistleblower is dead.
Detective: A crime has occurred and every passenger on this plane is a suspect! No one may leave this plane!
Boeing executive panicks, grabs a parachute and kicks the door open
Criminal negligence?
There are specific laws for falsifying records that apply to the employees.
Charged against a corporation? In America?
I'm not hopeful.
No. We're personally liable for falsifying records. If someone bought off that operation without verifying it, they can be fined and imprisoned.
Turns out that DB Cooper was on the flight.
was
Damnit, he did it again! We'll catch him next time.
