Bill Maher had a New Rule on his most recent show about "reverse improvement." The basic idea that things are getting to be so overengineered that they aren't improving thing but making them more difficult to use or less functional. Making a new airplane with better efficiency or better materials, great. Adding software that doesn't understand not to pitch the nose down, what the hell? Really? And then there's the perverse monetary incentive to put as many products out as fast as you can and then issue a recall after they already have your money. Cars do this so frequently that it's almost commonplace, but airplanes? That's fucking stupid.

@coolblue1812 That seems like a spectacularly poor way to run a business that means to sell mass transport. For one, taking deaths of passengers as a monetary inconvenience is morally repugnant. Bad enough car companies do so with a loss of life for each accident being in the teens at worst and one at best, but with hundreds on a plane? I understand greed as a motivator, don't agree with it, but I understand it. To anyone like that, I have one thing to say. Long term stability is far better for profits than short term growth, plus has the benefit of keeping a company lasting longer, providing goods\services, keeping customers happy, and keeping employees working and productive, having an overall stimulating and positive effect on the economy as a whole. If you're going to be greedy, be greedy in the direction of helping as many as possible and harming as few as possible.
