Ended the day at 2.3% lower which is basically a normal day and not indicative that anyone at this stage believes Boeing will take the blame.

This is not news.

I knew it, X-mas was invented by Boeing to get rid of whistleblowers. #EXPOSED!

We should nationalize Boeing

[–] lurklurk 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, let them clean up their own mess.

But perhaps stop awarding them government contracts until they do?
