They take money. It's banks that make it.
They also bribe politicians to give them an excuse to sell those weapons. Gulf of Tonkin, anyone? Grenada? Panama? Af-fucking-ghanistan?
Viet FUCKIN NAM
🤘
They are also involved in the military and aerospace industry. They also practically only have a single competitor in the passenger plane manufacture industry (airbus). So they are rich and powerful and do not shy away from exerting their influence to protect their interests.
Welcome to capitalism, baby!
Odds echo in reality. The French thriller "Blackbox" featured a conspiracy around a new aircraft crashing taking inspiration of the MCAS related crashes.
Didn't used to be this way till the BAs took over
fuck McDonnell-Douglas
Planes crashed more back then. Statistically speaking, safety has still improved over time even after the McDonnell-Douglas merger. Maybe it could have improved faster but commenters in this thread are saying crazy hyperbolic shit like "complete disregard for human life" which just doesn't track with the actual accident rates. But conspiracy theories and corporate malfeasance sure do get a lot of clicks if you're a news site. I'm sure executives were, are, and will continue to be profit-oriented while pretending to be something else, otherwise their business goes under.
Fucking corporate shills everywhere.
They are a megacorp, they have enough money to do what they want
When you have enough money you're effectively a god in every way except the omnipotently immortal part.
Wait until you hear about the people who make chocolate
Correction: they make money
Didn't stop coca cola or the banana companies
They’re rich enough to easily hire a good hitman.
And have the motivation to silence this guy before the entire country is calling for Boeing to have their corporate charter revoked
