Pretty sure this is a fash cartoonist. In another cmic they blame the boeing incident on DEI.

Yes it was being posted by some fascists on Twitter... but also by everyone else
That's sort of the entire fucking problem. Fascists see the symptoms of a problem and either misdiagnosis or cynically obfuscate the issue. But in the end, these types of comics hit with people because the problems absolutely exist. This pisses liberals off who want to ignore them or pretend Biden can't do anything. And right wing, fascist types just want to blame all problems on minorities.
It's one of those "tricky" (can't think of a better word right now) situations where the source of the propaganda is a piece of a shit... but the message itself is correct. Biden's administration runs on "aren't you better off?!?" when the obvious answer is "no! And it's your fault, old man!" It's just, again, the solutions have to be correctly pointed out that it has absolutely zero to do with how many non-white male pilots, etc. are hired and everything to do with the US government's total and absolute ownership by Capital which paralyzes and incentivizes politicians like Biden, et al. into doing absolutely nothing.

Was really hoping for a comrade after seeing this.
Yeah, Opus Dei.
I wish Opus Dei was a single percent as cool as what those chuds think it is instead of a slightly different, slightly smarter type of Fash.
Under my administration, nothing will fundamentally change
SEE FOLKS HE TELLS THE TRUTH
Considering what the competition seems to be planning, no change is the lesser evil.
lesser evil
Keep doing your no change, see where that gets you. Keep letting them know you'll take a poisoned, blemished carrot as long as the stick is orange enough and scary enough.
Hit me right in the IPO
things need to change if you want any chance at stopping fascism though.
change is reserved for fascists. us good folk are perfectly comfortable in the current system
What's the competition planning?
Everything Biden does but even worse
Project 2025. King Donald will bring some real change.
So what's the plan to stop it?
The plan is for Biden to do whatever the fuck project 2025 is, but bipartisanly 
They never answered. I'm so curious to know what the plan is to stop fascism!
No change is when we start new wars, enact republican border policy, allow increased persecution of trans people, give more money to cops more money to the military, do nothing to alleviate those struck by massive inflation, dial back COVID protections before it's safe, start new wars, expand fracking and overturn roe v wade.
has everyone forgotten the apartment collapse too
I mean, to be fair, about half of these can be blamed on Boeing. The rest is almost all poor maintenance and compressor stalls.
Boeing is essentially just a private company used to funnel public money to capitalists. Obviously they aren't unique in that endeavor, but they're one of the biggest black holes of money that could be used to get much better results.
In any case, Boeing should be dissolved and a highly regulated nationalized agency takes its place. All of their private patents and contracts and shit become immediate public property of the US gov.
And of course I know none of that will happen (for now), but the idea of "death penalties" for corporations should spread. Every time one of these corps get caught cutting corners to maximize profits, especially in sectors like aerospace where the tolerance for fuck ups is supposed to be basically zero, just death penalty the corporation, seize all assets, jail all the officers of the company and top investors. I believe this is basically what China does... and it's working pretty great from what I can see.
And of course I know none of that will happen (for now), but the idea of "death penalty"
Careful what you wish for, because the corporate death penalty can be used to help real people avoid responsibility for a company's crimes. Breaking up Boeing and auctioning it's divisions to companies that have the exact same profit motives wouldn't fix anything.
You also mentioned nationalizing boeing, which I think makes a lot more sense. Keep it together, clean house, get back to engineering, add ombudsmen or some other new accountability measures for the public, integrate with NASA(?), etc.
It's so depressing that even these moderate bureaucratic changes are pure fantasy
Fewer such events than this time last year
Back to the guilded age we go!
Deregulate and watch people die in factory fires like its 1911 again!
Wheeeeee ain’t unregulated capitalism great!?!
Glad someone else is enjoying the ride too :3
Last pane is ableist imo
The comic artist is a fashoid, but it's hilarious how he tries to blame even the IDEA of spending even a penny on fixing up infrastructure on the failures of his oh so precious private sector.
ah that's too bad, lack of awareness in US that privately run companies are the causes of all these disasters is pretty incredible
