So, crashing a plane in the interests of terrorism is evil, so evil that all of us have to have full body scans at airports to prevent it from happening. But crashing a plane (or two) in the interests of capitalism is a whoopsie and not deserving of real punishment for anyone involved.

Given how governments fail to punish corporations for killing people, it's actually kinda heartening that corporations don't kill even more people. Because they could. And they'd get away with it.

Corporations are people when it comes to political speech. But when it comes to criminal activity, corporations are just faceless entities you can't punish. It's genius, really.

Just as robbing a bank gets you 10-25, but robbing a nation gets you a couple hearings in front of Congress and then... a bailout.

If you think Trump holds a massive amount of sway & power of the GOP, it’s a pittance compared to the control corporate America has over all of our politicians on both sides of the aisle

Crashing a plane or two that they knew had safety issues, because whistleblowers brought it to their attention and then were fired, is totally fine, and so is violating the settlement resulting from the deaths in those crashes because of capitalism, yes, you have that all correct

Pre-9/11, much of the airport security theater infrastructure was put in place because the TWA 800 crash, which turned out to be a mechanical failure and recurring risk in the 747, but they didn't give us our civil liberties back. (Real Names On Tickets was also a favor to the airlines' business.)

No punishment, and a huge payout for the CEO. It’s almost like they’re encouraging our deaths.

In a world where accountability wasn't just for schmucks every exec who touched the Max 8 would be charged criminally and the bonuses they won for skimping on safety would all be clawed back with interest.
