It seems there's a sense of malaise falling over everything and everyone in the USA. People at large simply cannot be bothered to care about anything, including torque specs for freakin' AIRLINERS
Culture problem as we hire people of a generation who were not educated or engrained with responsibility they avoid doing the right thing and this happens.
I agree. We need way younger CEOs (and legislators!). This current crop is perfectly fine rushing QA to ship defective products as long as it lines their own pockets. In industries where failures won't directly kill people they actually plan the obsolescence to happen.
Leadership from a more environmentally-conscious and empathetic Gen Z would definitely have safer products that last longer.
