Federal officials on Saturday ordered the immediate grounding of Boeing 737-9 Max jetliners after an Alaska Airlines plane suffered a blowout that left a gaping hole in the side of the fuselage.

An Alaska Airlines jetliner blew out a window and a portion of its fuselage shortly after takeoff three miles above Oregon late Friday, creating a gaping hole that forced the pilots to make an emergency landing as its 174 passengers and six crew members donned oxygen masks.
No one was seriously hurt as the depressurized plane returned safely to Portland International Airport about 20 minutes after it had departed, but the airline grounded its 65 Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft until they can be inspected. The National Transportation Safety Board said Saturday it will also investigate.
We always say shit like this, but do you think Boeing stockholders are psyched right now?
When are we gonna realize, fiscally, that it makes no sense to put idiotic psychopaths who cannot see the big picture in charge?
This is BAD FUCKIN BUSINESS.
I think the worlds covid response says that this is literally never going to happen. Psychos run the world and we are all getting fucked by them.
Unfortunately stockholders have about as much capacity to see the consequences of their actions as a toddler does.
They don’t care that 5 or even 2 years from now their cuts will mean planes falling out of the sky, they just see profits go up next month.
