Possibly you were downvoted for lack of clarity, and not because everyone here is a "BO assassin"?

#133Is it me or the "apparent" in the title implies it looks like a suicide but is not conclusively one?
I doubt the police investigation is over, and a coroner report certainly isn't done, so there isn't an official cause of death yet.
Coroners are pretty low-budget compromise targets compared to lizards.

#134I don't buy the foul play theories. What could this person possibly reveal that is worse that has already come out? They crashed two 737 Max's full of passengers for crying out loud.
Post truth reality isn't about buying anything, it's about viiiiibes maaaaaan!

>But a country like China would punish the corruption by Boeing management with death. That's a great incentive to not be corrupt. I've long since come to the conclusion that the reason today's politicians, executives, and others in position of power are so flagrantly corrupt is because they don't risk paying with their lives for their troubles anymore. The feudal age wasn't a great time to live in as a peasant, but…
I agree with the first paragraph but not the second. In feudal age the lords could treat their subjects very badly.
And if engaged in treason, absolutely must be successful!

>Nobody working for a megacorp is loyal enough to the company to eat a murder charge just to boost their employer’s profits by 1%
If that's the extent of your imagination when it comes to intent to murder in this situation, then maybe you should simmer down with your insults.

> I've been predicting that companies would turn into criminal gangs sooner or later. When have they not? This is literally the entire point of limited liability for hundreds of years. Goes back to the East India Company.
I've said before that any sufficiently powerful corporation is indistinguishable from a government. The East India company was a good example, they had their own army & fought wars of conquest.
Yes, there were very few such corporations before and they were not at the core of a nation's economy as they are today. The fact that they failed spectacularly should have been a lesson for us to avoid them! Instead, we've enshrined the concept of corporate personhood into law.
Kind of insane to think that we have a construct which at the same time claims that a corporation is a person but also that the corporation is not liable to legal prosecution for its crimes as a person is. I.e. a corporation itself cannot go to jail as a person can. The corporation can do whatever it wants and continue operating unimpeded so long as it can keep finding new people to serve as scapegoats.
Imagine if some people would have the same rights as corporations; the bosses of mafias could assassinate anyone, pay a fine, throw a scapegoat under the bus and continue 'business' as usual. Police couldn't even reach a plea deal with the scapegoats because no matter what information the scapegoats revealed about the big boss, it would be inadmissible because actually, in that very special case, the big mafia boss is not a person but, conveniently, an abstract entity and therefore it cannot physically go to jail. How about shutting down their operations for x amount of time? That should be the bare minimum... It could be applied to corporations, why is it not?

See, that's why I don't post on any social platform regularly because the majority don't see the overall connection and picture, and refuse to accept the facts in any way they can. Whatever I write generally get deleted or hidden with no reason given, which I get quite used to, and society just hopelessly never changes.

Less of the onerous "if only others could see what I, random internet person, has seen!" self-aggrandizing would go a super-long way, imho.
