There has to be personal accountability for people at top, otherwise they'll just peddle their shit in the next company they'll be the part of.

This agreement shows that basically you can buy yourself out of justice.

How many of the PE’s went to jail or even lost their license?

This is like being the judge and the accused at the same time. The people at top _are_ the state. They can buy their way out of everything.

Regulatory capture was just one step. They want to install their own king.

The judge could still reject it; they rejected the prior agreement last summer.

If I read this correctly they plead guilty at the end of bidens presidency but the plea deal was rejected by a judge.

Reasoning being the the DOJ was being accused of potentially making a choice for a person to monitor the pea deal terms based on DEI instead of competency.

Adminstaration changed, and with the DOJ of the current administration in place they instead got out of it with a settlement instead of a felony?

"That amount includes a $487.2 million criminal fine, though $243.6 million it already paid in an earlier agreement would be credited. It also includes $444.5 million for a new fund for crash victims, and $445 million more on compliance, safety and quality programs."

That amounts to 1.28M per human life. Also, most of the victims were conveniently Africans and South Asians. I hope airlines on those other continents avoid Boeing like the plague.

Planes always need to have a lower level mode of control for more manual flying, with layered optional higher level modes. It's like a Python programmer should always be able to drop down into C and even Assembly when the work demands it.
