The US Justice Department is nearing an agreement with Boeing that would include a corporate monitor and a fine in exchange for a guilty plea to criminal charges — an offer the lawyer representing the families of victims of two fatal 737 Max crashes harshly rebuked as a “sweetheart deal.”

    Some execs need to go to prison.

    Glad the CEO is stepping down just to go back to the board.

        Business corruption as usual. This is why fascism is so fashionable right now. We’re angry and these loud assholes have the answers (they don’t)

      “Corporations are people!”

      “So the CEO goes to prison?”

      “Not like that!”

                It would be better if your daddy gave it to you for free, paid you unlivable wages, and then pushed you off a balcony or put you in a sweatshop when you got unruly. That’s real love, comrade.

    Getting an actual guilty plea out of a company and not a settlement would be something of a big step legally. Which means they probably won’t take it still.
