"It's absurd that two months later, we don't have that," National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer Homendy said.
"Boeing has not provided us with documents and information we have requested numerous times," Homendy told the Senate Commerce Committee.
Boeing pulling the stalling tactics of Grace the secretary in Ferris Bueller- mumbling low, shuffling papers…
Well, if its good enough for the presidential candidate, it's good enough for everyone else.
I hope the US legal system will see much much much more of all these stalling and ignoring tactics by everyone, that way it will have to be adressed.
In the mean time, can't the NTSB just ask Boeing if a wider grounding of their planes might be required since it is hard to determine their safety.
USPS is awesome. I love my local post office and my mail carriers are neighborhood fixtures.
Sorry, supply-side Jesus taught us to only worship sociopathic corporations and leadership who act based on an unquenchable thirst for capital — so close to god they can't pass through the eye of a needle.
USPS is publicly funded and operated by a heavily unionised workforce — therefore the filthy proletarian communism of Lucifer himself.
Damn it all I forgot that by buying a book of stamps so I can pay postage to drop letters off in the many boxes maintained and monitored by an army of carriers and know that within days my mother will have a magnetic calendar with pictures of her grandkids I was ENGAGING IN SIN
Jesus ducking Christ I didn't mean any of that, only that they've lost packages around here a few times. Calm down
Unlike Amazon and UPS and fedex and all those other carriers that never lose packages right? Maybe ask why you’re focusing only on the federal government institution that the right wing has been demonizing for decades instead of the private institutions that lobby them
I said the same to another comment, but I actually didn't know about the whole right-wing raging thing. If I did I probably would have steer cleared of the joke. Yes of course the other companies lose packages as well. I guess it makes sense why people are crawling up my ass about it now, everybody thinks I'm some libertarian nut job now
I don’t, really. I think that both people are VERY sensitive to astroturfed and memetic right-wing messaging and assume anyone repeating a right-wing meme is doing so intentionally, and that right wing memes are very easy to accidentally internalize. Sorry for jumping down your throat. You’re honestly the minority who recognizes they stepped on a rake they genuinely weren’t aware of…I (and I think a lot of folks) feel like I have to be constantly vigilant against bad faith “common sense” propaganda
Original is deleted, but I'm guessing they were ragging on the post office?
It's something of an outdated meme among libertarian types. The post office used to be terrible about losing things, and they became the poster child for wasteful government programs. They cleaned up a lot over the decades, but libertarians didn't get that memo, and now it's an anachronism hanging around their community.
Hi. I deleted it because it was an apparently poorly ordered joke. I am not a libertarian. I am not a right-winger in any way. I actually didn't know that was common among libertarians but now I'm glad I deleted it. I've just had some bad experiences with my local post office and apparently people continue to downvote the deleted comment for some reason and I'm just going to go crawl into a hole now
