Gregory's Server"The Boeing 737 Max is an example of where competition actually led to worse long-term results. Because the pressure to prioritize speed over innovation resulted in a flawed product that claimed nearly 350 lives, and endangered hundreds more. The problem wasn’t that Boeing wanted to make a more sustainable plane. It was that Boeing used sustainability as merely a tool on its quest for profit. And the company, consumers, and the climate paid as a result."

@rek just watched "Downfall: The case against Boeing", great breakdown of everything Boeing has done to wash off its wroingdoings since the merger.
the 737 max was an attempt to quickly rehash the existing 737 design to compete with a recent airbus release: retrofitting a 40 year old design with a new engine.
