Robinson knows of a local earwig which will drive a man insane and eventually to death while feasting on his brain if it wanders in his ear canal because it will be unable to work its way back out. Macy pays Robinson to have someone insert one of the earwigs into Mr. Warwick’s ear while he sleeps ....."
If I recall this episode correctly, Mr. Warwick against all odds survived the earwig as it ate its way through the brain and came out the other ear. But there is a very horrifying plot twist at the end.

Yes, both.
Boeing sold off their Wichita fuselage factory to Spirit, then pressured Spirit to increase 737 fuselage deliveries to meet increased production demand, and also squeezed Spirit on pricing.
Technically, it was Spirit that ignored the faulty fuselages, but it was Boeing who accepted the fuselages and allowed Spirit to perform rework to repair the defects on the Boeing assembly line.
In fact, it was this rework to repair a Spirit defect that led to the Alaskan Air door plug to be reinstalled without its fastening hardware. Boeing removed the door, Spirit performed remedial work on the door opening area, then Boeing reinstalled the door plug without putting the fasteners back in that lock the plug in place.
Ultimately, had Spirit not shipped a defective fuselage, the door plug would not have been removed by Boeing in the first place.
This all leads back to when Boeing merged with McDonnel Douglass and M-D's "the next quarter is more important than the product" mindset crept into Boeing management. It was former M-D managers who came up with the idea of selling off Wichita to Spirit in order to make Boeing's bottom line look better.
Daniels told a New York jury she grew up as the daughter of a low-income single mother who was gone for days at a time and began working in strip clubs and in pornography before she met Trump at a Lake Tahoe golf tournament.
"OK, Ms. Daniels, stop right there. If you were so dirt poor, how did you get from New York to a Lake Tahoe golf tournament? Did you fly? Who bought the ticket? How did you hear of this golf tournament, and why did you go there in the first place?"

I don’t believe it. Why, even immigrants who come to this country with nothing more than the clothes on their backs can find housing in the finest hotels in NYC.
