Sam Mohawk, a Boeing employee of 13 years, claimed some factory workers took flawed airplane parts from storage and installed them on airplanes in order to keep production moving. Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers have dealt with staggering supply-chain issues since the pandemic.

“There’s so much chaos in that factory that there’s a desperation for parts because we have problems with our parts suppliers,” Mohawk told CBS News in an interview published Sunday evening. “In order to get the plane built and out the door in time, I think, unfortunately, some of those parts were recycled back onto the airplanes in order to keep building the airplane and not stop it in production.”

Yeah then they get shit parts from others who cut corners. Those parts don't meet specs ('broken' in this article) and they use them anyway.

It's no wonder their planes keep crashing. The FAA needs to shut them down. I doubt that will happen in this administrative climate though. More people WILL die due to corporate greed, just another example.
