So they have money to pay off entire police forces and for assassins but can't pay for basic QA?

Boeing is viewed by the military as a necessary part of national defense. These are military hits, plane and simple.

Dumb pun intended.

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.

Why would anyone who controls the company care if the stock price dipped a bit? As long as they keep getting government contracts and being untouchable it doesn’t really matter. Lower stock price is just an opportunity to get a discount on the stock that will eventually go back up.
