Boeing agreed last year to plead guilty to defrauding regulators after the crashes of two 737 Max jets, in 2018 and 2019, that killed 346 people. But a federal judge rejected that proposed plea deal.

Déjà vu:
The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory that killed 146 people (because the doors and exits were locked) in 1911 were acquitted and they made out on the insurance settlement.
So the FAA is having more problems and now this. Don't be surprised when more Boeing jets fall out of the sky because of no oversight and poor quality assurance.
Company whose negligence caused the deaths of hundreds of innocent people but donated a million dollars to Trump's inauguration will may have charges dropped by Trump appointed DOJ.
This is what happens when your government is for sale. Paying off a politician is far cheaper that learning and preventing the problem in the future. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ seriously…. Fuck this country.
If we survive this, it's going to take a long time to build ourselves up again. It's going to take the people to do it too. You and I are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum in probably just about everything but we can both agree on freedom being a good thing. That's common cause enough.
I don't know if that is necessarily true, but we absolutely agree on what matters. But I agree with you. Damage control, contrition and reparations will take a long time.
We are going to have to take a long, hard look at how we got here and acknowledge our failings as a society. That's going to be rough as people have a hard enough time doing it in their own lives. People have to be committed to their freedom and their neighbor's as well.
I agree totally! Even if we get through this we need to make major changes to our political system and what constitutes freedom and we HAVE to get money out of the process. We are the wealthiest country in the world and paradoxically the poorest. We can and should do better!
This administration lives on giving criminals a get out of jail free card and tax cuts to Billionaires! Sometimes they are one in the same.
Why you ask?
Because this administration is full of criminals!!
Zero accountability. Another DOW JONES corporation holding peoples 401k accounts hostage in exchange for the privilege of not following laws and avoiding consequences.
How does a judge say NO, after the accused agrees and pleads guilty. How does a judge say no? Who made the deal the Boeing or the Judge, and how is the judge so sure. That is a plaintant slap on the face to the rule of law.
Why do poor individuals face jail for minor fraud, while CEOs endanger thousands for profit, only to see their companies pay fines and receive golden parachutes?
Ever see those ants and caterpillars which are zombified by fungus? They are still alive for some time but are under control of the fungus. Well this has happened to America only the fungus are corporations and corrupt politicians who only work for them.
Well they downed 2 planes basically got away with it and definitely assassinated whisteblowers who said they weren't going to kill themselves before they were able to finish their trials against Boeing.
If the families have agreed to the deal why is the judge throwing in a monkey wrench ? And now the corrupt DOJ may dismiss the case. Boeing must have donated a lot of money to the orange dictator’s campaign.
The families weren't happy with the settlement amount. The judge had issues with the selection of an independent monitor. Sounds like Boeing would still pay something but avoid any criminal liability under the latest proposal.
America is called a nation of laws because, nearly every human behavior, and interaction is governed by a law. Even those things that should come natural as humanbeings, individuals/companies must be over regulated because they're not trusted to right by others. Even Dump is hardly constrained
What the Hell!! This DOJ literally is doing NOTHING for the People they are supposed to be in there to Protect!!
Someone needs to read Bondi the Job description please!
With Boeing joining trump in his corruption tour of the Gulf states, I wonder what Boeing offered trump to have his DOJ drop this lawsuit, which would be contrary to public interest - the quid pro quo 🤔
No way! I wonder how much crypto they had to, ahem, buy for that scenario to 💨 oddly though, both the whistleblowers who were going to testify against couldn’t make it to their court date - why? they both unexpectedly died. #coinkydink
When is the U S gust going to give up the pretence and just elect a corporation president? Because the court is manufacturing consent for a corporation to effectively allow them to obliterate literally anyone's entire family with no legal recourse, then effectively you do not have a democracy at all

There, fixed it for you.
We should change the national bird to a banana, call the chimp 'el Jefe' and have done with it.
I don't understand why it has taken this long with that many people dead.
And I'M American!
Why you ask?
Because this administration is full of criminals!!

and perchance states attorneys would like to brush up on negligent homicide charges??
WE HAVE THE EVIDENCE
I’m starting to feel like they’re the most corrupt company in the country
Boeing,Boeing, Boeing.
Corrupt admins don’t care if you die.
MAGA doesn’t care if you die.
Republicans don’t care if you die.
In fact, they like it when you die.
