Instead of fixing the problems the people who point them out mysteriously become depressed and shoot themselves.

Of course.
Boeing has lots of money invested in the whole DEI scam.
Can’t admit that it was a mistake.

This comes just a FEW DAYS after ex-Boeing employee John Barnett began handing over key pieces of evidence in a lawsuit alleging the airplane manufacturer covered up safety concerns such as :

➡️ One-in-four oxygen masks installed were faulty and would not work during emergencies

➡️ Workers being told to DELIBERATELY fit substandard parts (such as ones in scrap bins) to aircrafts in order to hurry up production

➡️ General safety measures being ignored by under-pressure workers

The sad part is that, not only will the feebs not investigate this, it was probably a feeb, or a feeb asset who did the hit.

Being a whistleblower is tough. No matter that truth and principle may be your motive, you become an antagonist to your former employer and colleagues. You get slammed by many of them for being disloyal or grandstanding or trying to profit, all your faults are aired and new ones invented, and then, in most cases, you fail to have the impact that you intend. You suffer financially and lose peace of mind, and family and close friends often fall away or criticize you rather than endorse or share your burdens.

And then he re-loaded, and shot himself again, just to be sure.

The road to doing what's right truly is narrow and difficult to tread.

And you probably become unemployable in your industry.

After the second shot he saw there was still slight twitching in his left leg. So he picked up the gun, pointed it at the back of his head and fired again. Third time was the charm.
