And not a single component nor part had a service life nor ran out of hours nor was replaced during the A/C's time in service.

The part that failed and was the proximate cause of the crash hadn't reached its 30k hour service life and hadn't been replaced between the time the airplane was built and the crash.

Sorry; this one wasn't the Commies or the Clintons. It was Alaska Airlines' flawed maintenance procedures.
