The knife probably slipped while he was peeling vegetables. Extenuating circumstances. Not nice to call her a vegetable. Sigh ......

I would like to see many in upper managment go to prison. The problem was the McDonnel Douglas takeover of Boeing. Although it may seem that it was the other way around a lot of McD senior managers were placed in senior positions in Boeing and to quote from I think the Seattle Times - the focus went from making planes to making money.

"The Shameless Hypocrisy Of Cities Suing For Climate Change ‘Damages’
North and South American natives once spoke of the mythical El Dorado, a sacred city made entirely of gold. History records that conquistadors embarked on expeditions throughout the Americas in pursuit of El Dorado and legendary riches. Ultimately their quests yielded nothing but misery and loss. A modern-day parallel exists among several municipal governments and Rhode Island, which have set out on an equally unrealistic quest for a modern-day “jackpot justice” – a scheme to reap billions from several energy companies. Using an already discredited “public nuisance” legal claim, Rhode Island and several cities have filed lawsuits that blame all of Earth’s climate change on a few profitable energy companies. The suits allege that, by producing oil, these energy companies have contributed to climate change, which, they argue, may cause damage to their communities in the future. Their cases, incidentally, fail to mention the large amounts of fossil fuels used by these same cities for public transportation, municipal airports, city buildings, and public improvement projects."issuesinsights.com/2019/10/31/the-shameless-hypocrisy-of-cities-suing-for-climate-change-damages/

Rolling climate preservation blackouts.

Like sportscasters on the instant replays? Only they select the ones they WANT to play.

It is only what they are helping the Chinese to do..... "The Globe and Mail reports that confidential Sidewalk Labs documents from 2016 reveal the aims of the Google-linked firm which include levying its own property taxes, tracking people’s movements and controlling public services. The documents outline how individuals living in a Sidewalk community interact with the space around them, an experience which is based on how much data they’re willing to hand over and could ultimately be used to reward individuals for “good behavior,” whch sounds suspiciously like China’s social credit system."www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/11/01/leaks-reveal-extent-of-google-city-planning-subsidiarys-data-collection-ambitions/

Although it may seem that it was the other way around a lot of McD senior managers were placed in senior positions in Boeing and to quote from I think the Seattle Times - the focus went from making planes to making money. I believe the best summary I've heard is that "McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's money." Note that Boeing Corporate HQ used to be in Seattle - near where the majority of employees worked and the majority of airplanes were made. Now it is in Chicago, where the company makes nothing and the only employees work directly for HQ.
