Take a look at who the shareholders are. When they say “shareholders,” they don’t mean Joe Public with a couple of dozen shares.
This is just another case of the rich and powerful taking care of their own. Bidness as usual. Nothing to see here.

That is just the state of corporate America. Now Boeing is on par with a shitty burrito chain. Although shitty burrito chain hasn't hemorrhaged $50,000,000,000 and killed a bunch of people in the name of cost savings.

this is why I never take my set belt off when flying (unless I need to use the restroom). I was on a flight across the midwest where the stewardess went flying and landed on my lap. I had to hold her around the waist for 30 minutes while the plane was getting tossed about. All the shit came out of the overhead. t was bad.

Boeing will try again to launch astronauts on its Starliner spaceship on Saturday

NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita Williams are expected to lift off at 12:25 p.m. ET Saturday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

At a news briefing last week, mission controllers said the rocket’s valve was successfully replaced but added that the helium leak would not be repaired before the coming flight.
Steve Stich, manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, said that the slow leak was extensively analyzed and that it was determined that it is unlikely to pose a threat to the crew, the mission or the spacecraft.
Repairing the leak would require a much longer delay because the spacecraft would need to be detached from the rocket, said Mark Nappi, Boeing’s vice president for the commercial crew program.
Stich called the issue a “design vulnerability,” because in the unlikely event that a number of systems were to fail while the helium leak persisted, it could leave the Starliner capsule without enough working thrusters to perform crucial maneuvers, including de-orbit burns to help the astronauts return to Earth.
In the end, however, mission managers said they felt comfortable proceeding with Saturday’s test flight
