  That happens at every technical business. It gets founded by passionate engineers. Then as they retire or leave they get replaced by business people that only care that number go up.

It is the same Boeing Max that was approved during trump's run FAA? There was that strange thing that a year before it crashed, out of nowhere he was saying that there were no crashes during his presidency, as if that wasn't normal.
- I think that was the Super Max 8?
