Hey guys, unless I missed Boeing getting into biological warfare, I'm pretty sure an infection had nothing to do with them. It's funny to circlejerk though, I know.

[–] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you can point and laugh all you want but the real meat of this story is that trust in our institutions is this low.

[–] STOMPYI@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Would you trust your baby alone in the woods with a random man or a Boeing exec?

Sorry. Bears have mysteriously shot themselves in the head.

Execs have the most psychopats and narcicists, so the chances of them abandoning the kid are high.

They wouldn't abandon a child.

They would use the child as much as possible to save themselves. Noisemaker for a search party, small hands to reach into tight spaces, easy bear escape mechanism, etc.

A bear. I choose a bear.

Funny enough it's still 4. Now frogs, frogs are different. Frogs lay eggs so taking that into account its 100 frogs.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Damn camels v frogs. Gets me every time!

[–] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No -- I'm not saying we should trust our current institutions, nor that I trust them, but it does seem to be a big problem

[–] STOMPYI@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I hear ya and am with ya...

Isn't that exactly what Repubicans did with the election?

-Make a bunch of baseless claims of fraud

-"Look guys we need to do something, trust in the election process is low!"

[–] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well yeah -- The loss of decorum in the ruling class/aristocracy started rolling down the hill with Newt. Once you get a Caeser it's just a matter of time before your Nero shows up.

What a dumb strawman, you're guessing just like everyone else! Absolutely no one's saying they manufacture bioweapons. But one of the biggest companies ever, with almost 80 billion in revenue each year definitely has access to shady methods, even if they wouldn't put it on itemized expenses reports.

1 whistleblower dying before they can testify is a huge coincidence, 2 is an extraordinary one.

Yeah... Customs and Border Patrol wrote this article using MRSA as an example of a biological/terror threat.

Yeah you did miss s few things.

You're missing a lot.
