I’m sitting here wondering just how long stuff like this has been going on, but so far 1) most of the accidents 2) mostly haven’t happened or 3) mostly weren’t obvious enough to make the news. 4) In most industries. 5) Yet.
Hedonophobia is the irrational fear of feeling pleasure. Someone suffering from this condition can expect to experience a very high amount of anxiety from merely thinking of feeling pleasure, let alone actually experiencing it. In fact, their anxiety may be so intense that they may even endure a full blown panic attack as a result of it.
John Burnett is the Boeing whistleblower that was found dead from a “self-inflicted” gunshot wound, the coroner’s office told the BBC. Police are still investigating the death.
He claimed that employees at its South Carolina plant frequently fitted substandard parts on planes and also says he reported faulty oxygen systems that could result in oxygen masks not working properly. Barnett said he knew of at least one case at the factory where workers used parts from scrap bins and fitted them into planes.
“I haven’t seen a plane out of Charleston yet that I’d put my name on saying it’s safe and airworthy,” Burnett told The New York Times in 2019. He had accused Boeing of denigrating his character and hampering his career, claims which Boeing have denied.
Newsweek reported that a close friend of Burnett claims he said that “if I die, it isn’t suicide.”

When one of those upended tires falls off, it’ll bounce away, making a sound like “Boeing, Boeing”.

When you fly these days, fly in a Fokker tri-motor
Fokker tri-motor … the plane that doesn’t come crashing down out the sky.

Corporations have a lot of power, and no moral codes; they are legally-sactioned sociopaths.
