And their planes made with scrap parts are still flying around.

Edit: A lot of new .world users showing up with ChatGPT responses about how this was a conspiracy, reminds me of an article i read this week.

The risk/reward analysis goes against assassinating the man. Despite prevailing opinions on executives around here, they're not fucking stupid, especially at the level of one who could order a hit. Even if several were involved for plausible deniability, they would all foresee the circular firing squad in the event murder came to light.

Seems like the risk paid off pretty well considering he was testifying about scrap parts in their planes and none of Boeings planes were grounded or inspected as a result.

Yup, what would the executives actually lose if they were found guilty in the court case? They'd need to find new jobs, but would give themselves fat severance packages.

Corporations suck ass, but this is nonsense.

What would they lose? Going down for conspiracy to commit murder for a start. Murder 1 as well.

I think you misunderstood. I mean the repercussions for courts finding the execs guilty of his accusations is a slap on the wrist vs charges for murder.

You're assuming reason and logic. Money addicted billionaire CEO's are about as rational as crackwhores who need a fix.
