    How the f do you even start killing people for this? I mean the PR crisis that follows an assassination makes everything way worse doesn’t it?

      There are people who have a lot riding on the line going up (often the same people in high positions in the organisation)

      All these whistleblowers make the line go down

      Of the people psychopathic enough to accumulate enough wealth to have a significant stake in Boeing, there’s going to be a percentage who are full-psychopath.

      It’s what unabated greed looks like

        Let’s also not forget those lucrative NASA and Military contracts. A lot of private and public money riding on this.

      You only kill a whistleblower if you’re confident that they would have said something worse in court. It’s almost guaranteed to be front page news.

      It’s what he’s paid for

      Bad PR comes and he takes the fall of stepping down with an exit package then everyone is happy

        Nobody’s fucking happy about any of this. They killed a person for speaking up about something that affects almost everyone.
