Boeing’s decline is the collective result of greedy executives, compromised regulators, a somnolent media, and some of the best politicians money could buy. What fueled the decline was a 1970 essay by economist Milton Friedman published in the New York Times.
Such is the sorry state of American journalism that so far only one publication has refused to rely on Boeing and FAA PR statements in reporting about what led to the recent near catastrophic Alaska Airlines disaster at 16,000 feet.
The media is deceiving the public into believing the FAA ensures the safety of commercial airline travel. In fact, the agency bears considerable responsibility for the recent near catastrophic Alaska Airlines accident.
The recent Alaska Airlines near disaster when a chunk of a 737 MAX fuselage became dislodged at 16,000 ft. was decades in the making. One must be awfully naïve to believe that Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun and the FAA have the determination and resolve to turn around what was once America’s most celebrated company.
Readers of my blog shouldn’t be surprised by Hertz’s EV debacle, but my late mother would have been shocked that my early skepticism has proven correct.
My tribute to Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for being crowned the “2023 Antisemite of the Year.”
