    The assumption here is that Boeing is responsible for these. What exactly does Boeing gain from murdering whistleblowers after the fact? At this point Boeing's reputation is alread…

    Children are capable of understanding the difference between pretense and reality. My 4 year old loves playacting scenes and games from Bluey but he also understands that I'm not a…

    Glad to hear the copyright troll got his comeuppance. I just wouldn't have expected a large estate to be in the receiving end of the trolling.
