>The 787 Dreamliner has been plagued by engine problems partially caused by the abundance of so-called “foreign object debris” Boeing assembly line workers chronically leave on aircraft components in their haste to move to the next task.
>Perhaps most harrowing, however, was the footage filmed by an assembly line worker who wore a hidden camera as went about his day chatting up colleagues, virtually all of whom said they would never allow their family members to fly one of the planes the factory was producing.
>“I raised my hand and said, ‘No one who works in this factory wants to fly these planes, I mean, that’s just the truth,’” Kitchens said. A woman she didn’t know, who was wearing a bomber jacket emblazoned with the FAA logo, shot her a scowl. But it was hardly the first time she’d expressed anxiety over the planes’ safety with upper management. Years earlier, she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror.
>>507227526 (OP)It doesn't matter. The rightwing and GOP thoughts on this are that government regulations and policy to enforce safety standards are gay and commie. It takes stronger government regulations and stronger means to enforce that policy, but the right isn't interested. Instead, they're content to say that aircraft issues are caused by jeets and DEI.
>>507227526 (OP)Boeing straight up murdering whistleblowers and selling defective planes that crash and nobody giving a shit is really a testament to how lobbyists run this country, not the politicians we "elect."
>>507227526 (OP)According to liberals, Diversity is strength
>>507227959This. There's a cynical shrug that often follows this that ignores how it's just been getting worse. Lobbyists have almost become redundant as unlimited funds sent to PACs and Trump just filling his cabinet with billionaires, a unprecedented brazen act, has made things much worse than before.
>>507227526 (OP)Air India has a worst record than Boeing
>>507228140That's what I mean, /pol/ and the right are ready to blame DEI, women, and non-whites for everything when the problems continue to be issues with standards, inspections, oversight, and even just the lack of consequences.
>>507227526 (OP)and shareholders get rich off buybacks, with zero punishment.
Nice little system the USA has created.
There's no reason the world shouldn't kill every American any chance it gets.

>>507227526 (OP)>people with 'severe' disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the federal workforceWouldn't that be because they are on disability payments? Why would we want them to be working?
>>507228903Wouldn't those issues be related? Or are you saying being a dishonest country that relies on the lowered standards of poorer nations to offload planes that wouldn't pass our own inspections is based?

>>507229088if a key man needs to make child support payments so his son can be trooned out or he gets arrested, he doesnt even want the company to exist in 5 years, because the antifamily court will be more lenient on him being unable to make the next payment if hes laid off than if he gets in trouble or quits and cant immediately get a higher paying job. so theres a real incentive to commit large scale sabotage bordering on treason
>>507230139Is that related to Boeing avoiding American safety standards by selling to India? Are you having trouble supporting stronger regulations that would hurt Boeing's profits?

>>507230354how about execute all the divorce judges first, then reassess if there are any problems left that need government solutions
>>507230604You're proving the need for divorce and divorce judges while ignoring greater issues that impacts American vehicle and travel safety.
>>507230911the problem is no one has any honor or stability, far from it, people have perverse incentives to see the company fail. the only solution is mass executions of divorce judges. safety regulations will never fix this because already everyone at the plant doesnt trust the product, yet they keep making it, why, because they have no honor or stability and in fact perverse incentives to see the company fail. the only solution is mass executions of divorce judges. the theory is safety regulations improve the lives of children by preventing the father from beating the mother. the reality is the safety regulations create perverse incentives for the mother to tear the family apart for the child support money. the only solution is mass executions of divorce judges.
