The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday, May 6, 2024, that it has opened an investigation into Boeing after the beleaguered company reported that workers at a South Carolina plant falsified inspection records on certain 787 planes. Boeing said its engineers have determined that misconduct did not create “an immediate safety of flight issue.”

Tbf, the feds should probably just investigate everything South Carolina does.

If nothing else, the feds on the SC investigation can learn about the wonder that is deep fried green tomatoes

They are sublime.

ETA: try yourself some hot green tomato pickles, with beans and rice or cornbread. Bonus points if you find Carolina Gold rice.

Double bonus if you use a Carolina rice spoon for your rice, and throw in some pulled pork from the pig pickin.

I had to look that up! At my house, the "rice spoon" is whatever spoon is used to serve the rice, often it's a wooden paddle I used with a fork to fluff it up and stir in more butter. I never even had Carolina Gold until I was already middle age, because it's hard to find and expensive. I usually try to avoid pork. It's horrible for the body.

Seriously, I worked on a construction project in Charleston close to the Boeing plant that used some of the same contractors. More than one told me they won't fly after what they saw (and this was pre-scandal).

I believe you! Several years back, I had friends at LM and their stories were off the chain. You don't want to know what goes on in the food production plants. You can look up some stories of chicken processing, if you never want to eat it again.
