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.
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.
Redistribute their capital.
Redistribute their CEOs to fertilize the fields.
^my man
Capital punishment for corporations.
Also for executives.

OnionHard 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.
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.
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.
And there it is.
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.
I read this whole comment thread but somehow missed that one? What prompted this?
Any post with the name ‘boeing’ usually comes with the ‘actually’ bots. Just give this one some time for them to recalibrate
Probably, but I can’t help but feel you are what you accuse here, leveling an accusation at a target which doesn’t exist yet.
Ok Boeing.
Fuck Boeing, but your comment was still a nonsense hammer in search of a nail, and what you said would come never came.
Selective reading.
I reread all the comments. Please link to the specific one.
Wait until Trump gets into office and becomes a dictator “on day one only.” This will be legal.
You don’t have to wait it’s already happening. Vote red and blue out
Who exactly am I supposed to vote for that has a credible chance of beating both Trump and Biden?
You can vote for whoever you want, at this point pretty much everyone has a chance to beat these two mad men
That’s ludicrous. You show me one poll that agrees with you.
You are supposed to vote for the best nominee not according to made up poll
Maybe you throw your vote away on someone who has zero chance of winning, but that’s not how I vote.
Votes aren’t like your bigmac, you can’t throw them away
Go back to Russia shill. No rational human would equate red and blue.
I challenge you to locate russia on a map
Don’t need to. I’d just ask you to tell me where homeland is lol.
planet earth, i wonder what is yours
If the implication here is that Boeing is assassinating people, I think that that’s pretty ridiculous.
Not just one, but two whistleblowers in two months. And one of them said that if he dies soon, it would be a Boeing assassination a few days before he died.
Someone claiming to be a family friend said that’s what he said, after-the-fact. That part of the whole first whistleblower story is far from rock-solid.
John was also in the process of deposition for an appeal to a case he already lost in 2019. If Boeing wanted to kill him they would have before the 2019 trial.
And by the time he complained in 2017, both 787 and 737 Max that he was spilling details on had been flying for years. The FAA investigated and found a decent chunk of the issues had already been addressed. So it wasn’t even timely information by the time John spoke up.
Lemme guess, they died of natural causes like gravity or something right?
Illness as confirmed by their mother.
@[email protected] Man, if Boeing had only sung or used nonviolent resistance, I’ll bet these whistleblowers would have backed down as witnesses.
Also, tankman is dead. He got ran over by a tank. He really showed them.
This guy got so angry at being called out for not having been in the military (as I’m in the reserves and still a conditional pacifist by conviction) and only being able to come up with inane violence fantasies that he had to tag me in another thread.
Go read the original conversation here. Guess he had to try to make a new one, due to getting downvoted quite hard in the actual one for the admittedly silly things he said. :/
Go buff your Walmart pistols, that’ll make you feel safer.
Your refusal to read history doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

you know what? you’ve inspired me. believe it or not, i am a person who can change their mind. i’m going to play devil’s advocate here and take up the opposite position to what you propose, not because i want to prove i’m right but because you’ve taken the time to back up your argument with cited examples. i appreciate that. should we start a new thread somewhere? i’m new to lemmy so i’m not exactly sure where the right place would be. i have a lot to do today, so i won’t be able to counter you quickly.
let me just say that i’m not angry (well… i’m angry, but not at you). i recognize that we’re on the same side and i don’t want to disparage a fellow comrade. i respect the fact that you’ve had military training, and if i can prove you wrong, i hope that you would take a second look at the value you provide to the cause.
we’ll discuss this more, hopefully.
He did not. There are lesser known photos showing him leaving the street. I think a lot of people haven’t seen those.
I’m sure the Chinese government disposed of him if they were able to identify him. But as far as I know he’s never been identified. I hope not. Brave motherfucker.
i can’t cite a source, but i was under the impression he was widely believed to have been run over by the tanks.
I think that’s’ one of those “Mandela effect” things. It never happened, but a lot of people believe it did. Our brains take a lot of shortcuts.
I’ve seen the pictures on Reddit, years ago. After blocking the tank for a while, he walked off the street going left. He was not run over by the tanks in that column at least.
