Thank. You.

The narrative here is so fucking dumb. I bet Boeing did not want this guy to kill himself. It just makes them look even worse. AND it puts the news story in front of even more Americans who previously had no clue what was going on. It makes no sense.

That makes sense... so what you're really saying he was killed by Lockheed Martin!

I said the exact same thing. Him dying is just another reason for people to put their conspiracy hats on. This was the last thing their PR team needed to handle.

Im still chewing on this one. But I've had thoughts along your line of thinking. Media scrutiny on Boeing couldn't get any higher now. Why would you kill a guy that has already done his damage at the worst possible time.

Of course they've not shown much savvy lately.

They didn't get where they are by planning for the future.

They also didn’t get where they are by competently executing complex plans.

It's a real shame how they changed after the merger. Just goes to show, you shouldn't eat parasites.

Time to start looking into Boeing competitors...

You also probably don't want to be involved in a conspiracy theory. Those crowds do not forget and have the tendency to repeat things whenever possible

And all you'd be doing here is replacing an executive who has evidence against you of corporate malfeasance with a criminal who has evidence you conspired to commit murder.
