Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Inside you there are two wolves.

One of you wants to see Boeing planes explode as a demonstration of the failures of capitalism.

The other one remembers that this means the passengers have to die.

Maybe it could be a military plane?

This but a trolley problem meme

There are times where being as broke as I am and never flying does have its advantages. Not going out in a Boeing related fireball is one of them

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I dunno about you loony leftists but I trust Boeing to ferry me off this murdered planet to mars.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

Or at the very least off this mortal coil and away from this thoroughly enshittified plane of existence!

Glad I'm flying home on an Airbus today

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Literally why I flew Frontier, apart from not wanting to deal with LAX

[–] someone@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I've just decided to simply not fly anymore. Bus, trains, driving myself, sure. But I'm no longer leaving the ground.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

well why, comrade, there is always the trusty, reliable helicopter or V-22 Osprey for you to travel large distances by air

Agent 47 rubbing his hands together somewhere, knowing there are about to be a litany of new ~~whistleblowers~~ targets

I wonder how much value this brings to shareholders?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 15 points 5 months ago

Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Osama’s real failure is not using his Saudi family to invest heavily into Boeing then sabotaging it from the inside
