  • Paying a 250 million fine with no criminal charges is a joke. Department of Justice needs to change its name.
  • Make billions, pay millions Keeping the shareholders happy and no-one ever goes to jail or even loses a buck. Cool.
  • @TG-ke9ve
    250 million is nothing for them!
  • @mrxxbrian
    when will they admit they off'd two of their former employees as well
  • @tr3vorb438
    And where does that hundreds of millions of dollars in fines go? Not to thr families of those who lost their lives, but to a slush fund for left leaning organizations. Obama started this slush fund process and trump stopped it. Biden has continued it.
  • @BeyondPC
    When do the fines ever go to the actual victims?
  • @GH-oi2jf
    Calhoun needs to go sooner rather than later, and an outside CEO is needed. Calhoun was on the board at the time of the MAX crashes, and he was supporting Muilenburg until it was no longer possible.
  • @mrsleep0000
    Sooo, no more government contracts for them...right?...right?!
  • 250 million is just the price of doing business for them. There short term profits were in the billions. Fines have to start equaling profits. There profit motive itself needs to be hit.
  • so fines that take money away from a plane company that has been cutting corners to begin with... seems like a sure fire way to get less quality in the long run.
  • wait did I hear there is 450 million in the budget for things including equality?
  • @celebrityrog
    We The People should seize Boeing and shut it down. Give all air contracts back to Lockheed-Martin. End of story.
  • @MrEvtmazda
    They are paying their CEO 45 Million but fighting their workers who havent had a real raise in over 12 years
