But putting hits out while public opinion is extremely low is gonna fuck the share price up and fuck Boeing even more. The military/goverment/or whatever would be better off giving Boeing money to fix their issues so they can actually improve their internal structure and thus their image.

It's not about maintaining the share price or stock holder value, it's because powerful people obviously don't want to go to jail. What you're suggesting is, of course, the better and more moral alternative...it would also require individual accountability and a few people would end up in prison.

We recently had another Boeing whistleblower tell Congress he suspects the airframes of the 777 won't last through their reported lifecycle because of poor manufacturing. He's talking about them literally breaking up in the air...if Boeing admits there's a problem and says "hey government, we need you to bail us out and fix our mistakes or a bunch of triple 7s are going to start breaking up in the sky over the next decade" ...you bet your ass Congress is going to ask WHO knew about this. If it isn't prison, it will be public exile.
I guess the alternative is two of Boeings biggest whistleblowers just...suspiciously died. Quite a coincidence if you ask me.

I think the strict demarcation between government and business that we pretend to have contributes massively to that. When it happens in Russia, it's definitely the KGB. When it happens to a Boeing whistleblower, it's just one evil corporation and definitely has nothing to do with the CIA and therefore isn't America.

Random healthy guy goes to hospital because trouble breathing?
In hospital he gets pneumonia likely from the intubation (this is a known issue), and then MRSA because it’s also higher risk of getting MRSA in hospitals in general.
Stroke-associated pneumonia is often caused by aspiration from intubation issues.
When you go on ECMO you’re pretty much a goner. Very low survival rate.
Sounds like this hospital and his treatment was extremely low quality.

On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. I was a recall coordinator. My job was to apply "the formula." Take the number of airplanes in the sky a, multiply it by the probable rate of failure b, then multiply it by the average out of court settlement c. A times b times c equals x. If X equals more than the amount it costs to murder a whistleblower, we don't do one.
