Ralph Nader is a friend of one victim's family.. Some Bizness-grade machinations are correlated with the truly-Drumpf-like attitude that Less Regulation is Moar$$ for the 1% lifetime hoarders and with input from an (also related) Engineer and Union member: concerning pre-Max buyout of McDonnell and a change to: Bizness-at-top shall replace the Engineering-steered philosophy of yore. Etc.

tl;dr So it's a vignette of what one victim, family ..world lost via Reaganesque casuistry of shred Gummint /let-Bizness-Rule, for a tl;dr ... and gives enough techno to clarify what it Means when a MBA-droid, all unawares of computing or F=MA ... instantly /abruptly replaces the governance of a Corp whose product is intensely-technical--and whose product risks lives on every flight.

This Tale--as can be understood sans calculus or matrices--should it receive sufficient ink: might make clearer to the masses that Bizness is the religio of the crass, of the formulaic thinker whose 'integrity' is that of Mammon, thus ethics-free. Though I think that message will find the most reception in the young, bright and pissed-off, those who today notice the Biz-reception(s) to Greta T. (along with responses of old-white-men who can't parse ~ 105ºF/RH=8%/wind gusts >45 mph) ... even when The Weatherman tells which way the wind is blowing.


Have a nice flight next; ongoing lottery: shall anyone-much fly again in a MAX? ... in our lifetimes.

cuz the zeitgeist is largely incapable of [both logic + Reasoning]--on so many topics as need both; thus as in, "In the land of the blind the One-eyed are KIngs".

Secondly, 'Debate' used to be a class (at least in my H.S. and others) Am unsure if such-Class (or music, arts, Thinking-to-a-Purpose?) are available in many 2019 "classes". We're spoiled in our tiny sinecure/IWE as the jobs/professions of all demanded those attributes as Basic. {{sigh}}
aka Little-by-little it seeps in, that the essential difference 'twixt olden-days and Now-days is the obvious decline of this Basic!-"S.Q." ... Survival Quotient. I've encountered so many prime-examples--yout + 'adult'--of Low-SQ, yet there are Survivors (always good for endorphins: to spot). Ex:

a young woman (say 33-36?) working at a small market. I'd enquired about getting an "UpperCrust" {boffo-™) 'Amaretto Pumpkin Pie' and ordering same. She asked if I 'did science' maybe? I copped a plea ... since then we look for each other, share Pythonesque quips and ... I see that she's ready for: expansion towards --> better use of innate talent. Best kind of endorphins, as palpable-hope for the post-RWNJ-world ... if we're fucking-Lucky, next.

w.t.f. OK #Two: A 21 yo woman--doubtless suffering being a simply beautiful creature, thus all the BS as shall be directed in any next, notices I'm reading while waiting.. Wylie's "The Disappearance", (This in a small cafe overlooking same Creek as flows past moi). Asks something. Many conversations as I dropped in periodically for over a year, when she was to leave for a Washington (State) school. ∑: she would alter her course-list; maybe shall return to this job in-between; any 'education' was mutual. ✓

ie We're all Teachers now, if we but invest a few minutes of full-attention towards anyone expressing something more cerebral than, 'Have a Nice Day' ..whatever the pedestrian locale, eh? A few such 'intentional mind experiments' cause me to discern that there's more 'hunger' out there, seeking some exchange that is non-trivial ..than there is much awarenss of the Fact. (And it is reciprocal of course), always confirming that most of our stereotypes Suck--an inner dialogue which must accompany any application of Golden Rules, and like that. :-þ
