Boeing whistleblower John Barnett alleged in a lawsuit prior to his death in South Carolina that he was “harassed” and “humiliated” for speaking out at work.

    It stated that Barnett “continually objected to Boeing creating and maintaining a program not approved by the FAA that allowed mechanics to inspect and approve their own work, known as the Multi-function Process Performer.”

    Boeing should be dismantled and everyone involved in the harassment campaign against Barnett should be charged.

    But that’ll never happen 'cause it’s too big to fail.

      Them inspecting their own product was a funny punchline for John Oliver, very much not funny in the real world.

      Agreed, Boeing should be dismantled and the people charged.

      I don’t understand why “too big to fail” is also “too big to be broken up.” We broke up what was once literally the only company you could use if you wanted to use a telephone and it seems to have worked out.

        If the government is giving any money to these assholes it should be from buying all their stock at fire sale prices using money from fines paid by the CEOs and board of directors.
