How have they not grounded every Boeing plane at this point? The company needs to be federalized.
The plane is 34 years old. It's probably more likely it's Delta's lack of maintenance than a problem with Boeing.
While I know you're correct... And there is definitely going to be a media bias in reporting... There seems to have been a remarkably large number of issues with Boeing planes specifically lately.
Shitting on Boeing is getting clicks. So the news keeps reporting on every bit of anything they can find related to them. The incident rate isn't going up. At the same time there have been a few issues with Airbus planes but that's not getting engagement as much so the news isn't focusing on them.
I mean, they fucking killed a guy. So you know. Probably wouldn't murk a dude if their shit was up to standard
Two guys*
Why not both, though?
Maybe bcause shades of nuance exists tho?
Should GM be responsible for a tire on your car going flat after you've owned it for 15 years?
There are design flaws around the 767 and the emergency slides falling off. Enough that the FAA issued new air worthiness directices to Boeing regarding them. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/09/08/2016-21152/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes

Why have they not grounded every car? Despite all the safety problems at boeing, they are still way safer than automobiles.
Not all Boeing planes are garbage, and they are the cornerstone of domestic air travel. If we suddenly stopped flying them, ticket prices would triple. We have a lot of airbuses and some aging McDonnell Douglas planes, but Boeing probably makes up about half of American passenger planes.
This HAS to be the onion right?
At this point, maybe there's enough people suing boeing that the odds of a random plane piece falling on a lawyer involved rises significantly.
you know what I'm starting to believe that god does actually exist and he's just messing with us for his own entertainment at this point
Parthenon gods work well for this shit. Zeus had a bad day and wanted a laugh.
Has anyone recently been raped by a goose?
Is he havin a laugh?
Or we live in a simulation.
Is there a meaningful difference between a god and a creator of a virtual universe?
Yes, only one of those is possible...
I don't think that's something that us as humans can ever know.
A simulation should approximate reality. What this is, it can't be that.
Good point, but that may be some form of contemporary art
Or both
Maybe neither
Well. We don't.
How do you know?
There is no proof of God nor the simulation.
Lack of evidence isn’t evidence.
Just because you can’t prove god or simulation doesn’t exist isn’t proof that they don’t exist.
I asked how you knew, and you gave me an opinion.
In other words you don’t know, and you can’t prove or disprove it.
You are claiming that something is a certain way. The burden of proof is on the accuser. People claiming that we are in a simulation should prove it. I don't see any evidence of this presented.
There’s no burden of proof. This isn’t a court room.
You saying there isn’t a god/simulation is just as much of an accusation as someone saying there is.
You can’t prove or disprove it.
Since you’re claiming there is no god then by your logic you also have the burden of proof.
Unfortunately for you, the lack of evidence isn’t proof of anything. It doesn’t prove or disprove anything.
Your claim is just as wild as someone saying the opposite. Either way you’re taking a massive leap of faith to definitively say there is no god.
It’s no different than someone claiming there is a god. The position is equal.
The only definitive stance you can take is admitting it’s possible. Anything more is bias and opinion.
"Hang on, Margaret, someone just delivered a new piece of evidence."
I cannot WAIT for the docu-drama series about all this.
Compared to Boeing, I look like I have my shit together.
Oceanfront huh
Not sure what you are trying to say there.
They don't like rich lawyers. Few do.
But we do want lawyers skilled enough to be able to hurt major corporations, and then expect them to work cheap.
It's not all that hard to understand when you're downtrodden. But it is a bit counterproductive in my opinion. (That aimed at the original commenter, not at you, though I am sympathetic to both viewpoints.)
Ah that makes sense.
Tbf JFK area Oceanfront isn't nearly as nice as what you're probably picturing. It's not like coastal California, it's cold AF 8mo and rainy the rest. There's only like 2 sand beaches nearby.
I want to see him haul that slide into court to introduce as an exhibit.
Not a good look.
Bit of an understatement, that.
