You are 100% right but it goes a lot further than Boeing. I'm an aerospace engineer who works in industrial control systems, automation and robotics. I've worked across a number of industries and what you have described with the problem of financiers is RAMPANT across most industries especially all of the technical and engineering industries. I became so frustrated I started informally studying economics so that I can talk their language and be able to push back. The thing that really motivated me was finding out how bad of a state Australia's (my country) energy sector was from doing a small consulting job. I can 100% guarantee you that the current energy crisis has NOTHING to do with Ukraine other than Ukraine made the situation worse. The problem is that its NOT just 1 thing. Its collectively called neoliberalism which is more than simply economics as its got political aspects as well. The main problem with energy is that economists have NO IDEA how energy actually produced generated. In fact they have no idea how anything is produced. They see all forms of production as a collection of magic black boxes that "stuff" comes out of. They walk into places of production (food, minerals, products, whatever) arriving with some form of market analysis that declares this "stuff" has a market price of $X. From that $X market price and their declared profit margin they calculate what the cost of production is and then start telling everyone how they have to cut costs to match what they have calculated. Go and look at the Max-8 Story and that's basically what happened. They decided what the market cost was to compete with Airbus and used that to make decisions, which included NOT having the additional costs of a suitable anti-stall system.

@hb1338 Do clowns like you EVER STOP AN READ what people are saying before you start to to lecture them. FIRST - Had the FAA still been the organisation certifying aircraft for commercial passenger transportation then there WOULD NOT have been MCAS as it was used on the Max-8. There would NOT have been any decisions being made by clowns with business degrees or MBAs or economics degrees. The changes to the FAA had nothing to do with pilots or engineers, but it fits right in with neoliberal doctrine of de-regulating and downsizing all regulatory agencies. Other than the FAA those same people have been busy chopping the guts out of agencies like the FDA and EPA across the world. Most of the time it has nothing to even do with profits as a lot of those people simply believe that ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY is BAD and needs to be curtailed. SECOND - I am an aerospace engineer with a pilots license with an aerobatics endorsement. PLUS one of my frat brothers is a senior 737 instructor whose airline sent him to Boeing to help sort the Max-8 mess out and he's told me a couple of things I can't repeat. I'm also formally qualified in industrial safety systems which do the same sort of override function as MCAS did but on industrial plants. So I am very well aware of how you assess and test such systems BEFORE you deploy them and how you then field test them to make sure they are doing EXACTLY as planned. I can explain EXACTLY in detail the FMEA and CHAZOP processes that would have uncovered the MCAS issue BEFROE IT EVER FLEW. Sorry but I get piʂʂed off when ignorant stupid little clowns who don't know what they are talking about start lecturing people about things they think they have expertise in. More often than not clowns LIKE YOU who don't listen CAUSE THE NEXT ACCIDENT. So I suggest you learn how to listen to people or one day you'll be the cause of something bad and someone like me will be right in front of you AND YOU WONT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS.

@JoJoGranum Yeah I 100% agree. As an engineer I am trying to get people aware of what they have done to BOTH energy and water. I think most people are aware of what they've also done to education and health care. Energy, water, education and health care are the most fundamental inputs to any economic system. F*ck with any of them and your society is in trouble. These clowns are screwing up all 4. Its all tracks back to Milton Friedman's _"Greed is good"_, that was the basis for Reaganomics and Thatcherism. That whole system is collapsing in on itself and I fear its going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

@iancormie9916 The PROBLEM is that its virtually hardwired into Economics and Accountancy students during their degrees to INTERFERE in EVERYTHING that they can. Its almost an obsession for many of them and it is an obsession for some. I'm an engineer and when I became aware of Australia's energy situation about 7 years ago I started trying to work out why it happened and why NOBODY was doing anything. It came back to one simple answer - ECONOMISTS did it when they sold us all on the falsehood that privatising our energy sector would deliver cheaper prices and better services because of competition. It never eventuated and we now have some of the highest energy bills in the world. We have the same in infrastructure. When I looked around the world it was similar stories EVERYWHERE. Its the same SORT OF thing that happened at Boeing. They look at their economics and make decisions based on nothing but MONEY as in COSTS & PROFITS. If its a cost stomp on it and if its a profit launch it.
