5 SECOND REVIEW
* today's rendition of "man's religion is greed" and "i hate capitalism" comes from Boeing and the 2 crashes that happened in 2018/2019, because they essentially lied about a software and its importance in the aircraft, citing "pilot error"
* fuck offfffffffffff
* the book explores how Boeing went from a company that always, always valued safety over anything else, always valued its engineers and their expertise, to a company that wanted to make all that sweet sweet cash, at the expense of its customers, their safety, its employees and any ethics or morality
* did they get away with it? of course, all they ended up paying were fines that amounted to what it would have cost to roll out a stable aircraft and train the pilots that were supposed to pilot it - the bonus of actually doing that would have been the preventable deaths of almost 350 people
* but we don't care about that in these corporations, do we? 😃
* all we care about is increasing production, often by stretching employees' capabilities so incredibly thin, decreasing costs, increasing share values, bypassing any regulatory practices, lying about safety and waiting for that $$$ to drop
* i'm just... disgusted is an understatement
* 4/5⭐️
