"I hate to say this." Then don't say it.
Some things need to be said. Some people need to do a better job. I hate saying it because I want America & it's founding principles to succeed. Boeing's performance & response to accountability is bad.
China's methods are effective at stopping corruption dead. Their managerial class seems to understand the stakes of public safety. They don't mess around. They had to deal with corruption & it's destabilizing effects on many levels throughout their system.
In the American system, it's worse if nobody talks about corruption. It's clear that the western managerial class has become powerful. Some in the managerial class has no interest in self-regulation. Nor will these people work to benefit the public. What happens when these people harm the public? Like what has happened over & over the past century.
As long as there are no real consequences, this behavior will only be more bold & egregious. Like how a spoiled child takes advantage of parents. I would love to be proven wrong & am completely open to good faith efforts to correct these problems.
