    To summarize the comment you are replying to:

    “astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay”

    “now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help”

    It’s extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn’t give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.

    If you’re upset that lemmy isn’t trying to solve this problem… Well then I can’t help you there. This isn’t a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.

    If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can’t be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.

      Sorry, did I miss something? Boeing took over the FAA?

      JESUS GOD DAMNED CHRIST!!! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! Now THAT is news.

      It has nothing to do with “trying to solve this problem” and pretending it does is just an obnoxious strawman. The issue is coming into a completely unrelated thread to spew some idiocy because your favorite influencer does the same. It is engagement farming for absolutely zero reason.

      The ONLY mention of Boeing in that article was that they were being considered for a fallback. Which also includes misinformation about NASA deeming it unsafe (as opposed to not as safe/unnecessarily risky when there are safer options). Which… is an FAA and NASA decision. Because you can bet spacex would gladly fly their rockets if they were allowed to as well.
