Great, so we can cross off brazen public corpo-assassinations on the cyberpunk hellscape bingo card, eh?
Is it good or bad that we don’t have the cyborg stuff?
Bad bot.
Why bot? Looks authentic to me
Pretty sure it’s a cyberpunk joke
The Cyborg stuff is cool, but unfortunately we have subscription models, anti-repairability DRM, unblockable ads, and “we’ll fix it with the DLC” software model, and for-profit health care well established before those become a reality
You can then literally charge people an arm and a leg
*Corporate salivating ensues
We do have it, it’s just crappy unless you’re fabulously wealthy. Oh, wait…
I wonder if the third largest weapons manufacturer in the world, responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and misery, has access to an assassin?
I was thinking something similar, or if a major government who loves their products would have a vested interest in ensuring the company can continue.
Which would be quite ridiculously (but sadly not surprising) because if Boeing would overcome those issues it could grow stronger and start functioning sustainably. They can’t just shut down all the critics and hope other countries will continue buying their products, especially when Airbus is around

“Police are investigating how the man could shoot himself in the head 10 times. And next, as Boeing’s stock continues it’s upward trend, hopes and prayers have been deluxe wrapped for the next completely avoidable tragedy.”
“Police found no wrongdoing.”
Embarrassing country to live in. Boeing should be nationalized.
You spelled “dismantled”’wrong.
Eh, we’ve already paid for it several times, so we should probably keep it around.
Dismantling it would leave Airbus as the only manufacturer of airframes.
Now hear me out: apparently no competition is bad for a company, so while Boeing keeps Airbus honest it’s providing a good service.
Now, if Boeing could just stop making shitty airplanes like the cruelty of the max8/9.
Great then they can be just like Amtrak. Lol
It said the 62-year-old had died from a “self-inflicted” wound on 9 March and police were investigating.
Assuming there’s nothing more insidious than what’s thus far reported and maybe even if there is, this would be far and away the most damming thing a person could do to Boeing in the long run
At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case. Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel. He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel. He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.
I mean doesn’t that sound a little sus?
It sounds suspect. But it also sounds like it could have been extremely stressful.
He might also have had indigestion and couldn’t make it to his hotel room.

Holy shit
I’m starting to believe this is a frame up of Boeing to help push them down the stairs.
Its just too fucking obvious a thing for Boeing to do, and what would have made me sure was if the guy had fallen out a window.
I am wondering this too. I can’t imagine why they would be this sloppy. It’s also possible that it is one executive who is trying to save himself and maybe throw someone else under the bus.

The wages of whistleblowers. It’s incredible anyone is still crazy enough to do it. Better shut up and take it in the ass, you live longer.
Some people have morals and want the world to know what kind of stuff goes on behind the curtains.
What the fuck
You forgot the /s. I hope.
I know everyone is immediately thinking this dude got whacked by Boeing, but he did retire early because of a medical issue. For all we know, he could been suffering with a medical condition and wanted to end the pain or wanted go out on his own terms.
He was 100% killed by boeing.
Either they had him professionally killed or their treatment of him was a major contributing factor to his suicide.
When the powerful decide to target, marginalize and gaslight individuals, they are fully aware that piling on stressors can break a person and solve the problem via suicide.
Between day one and day two of his deposition? Possible, but only if he felt it was futile.
wanted go out on his own terms.
He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.
not really the same.
Or someone who may or may not be affiliated with a Boeing executive “assisted” him in his torment.
In the hotel parking lot right before he was supposed to testify. Yeah, super likely 🙄
For all we know…
