  3. A federal grand jury has indicted a former chief technical pilot at Boeing, alleging that he deliberately deceived safety regulators at the Federal Aviation Administration as the agency evaluated and certified the troubled 737 Max airplane. The indictment charged Mark Forkner, 49, with six counts of fraud, accusing him of providing the FAA with "false, inaccurate and incomplete information" about a new automated flight control system on the 737 Max. Robert Clifford, the lead attorney for many of the families of the people who were killed in the 737 Max crashes, calls the indictment of Forkner "a corporate whitewash." Clifford says the "corporate greed goes far beyond the chief pilot" at Boeing and he is urging the justice department to go further in its criminal investigation. https://www.npr.org/2021/10/14/1046198912/boeing-test-pilot-indicted-737-max-mark-forkner

  9. close captioning said there was a bit of a "scrofula" so much better than rod.
  10. there isnt a single fact or statistic in that press release. here are some facts. https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/plastics-material-specific-data on to the next topic.
  11. yeah, Thats what I figure. here are some stats for you. https://www.greenmatters.com/p/what-percent-recycling-actually-gets-recycled "This will likely come as no surprise to longtime readers, but according to National Geographic, an astonishing 91 percent of plastic doesn’t actually get recycled. This means that only around 9 percent is being recycled. As if that weren’t enough, nearly all of that plastic that does get recycled is actually downcycled, which means it gets less and less useful every time, eventually becoming so flimsy that it can no longer be recycled properly. As it is, that 91 percent just sits in landfills, piling up and breaking down slowly into arguably more dangerous microplastics. National Geographic reports that by 2050, approximately 12 billion metric tons of plastic will be sitting in landfills across the globe. For scale, that amount of plastic weighs approximately 35,000 times more than the whole Empire State Building."
  12. plastic "recycling"..... oil company idea. all goes to the ocean, or the landfill. complete scam. land fill operator: "I remember the first meeting where I actually told a city council that it was costing more to recycle than it was to dispose of the same material as garbage," she says, "and it was like heresy had been spoken in the room: You're lying. This is gold. We take the time to clean it, take the labels off, separate it and put it here. It's gold. This is valuable." But it's not valuable, and it never has been. And what's more, the makers of plastic — the nation's largest oil and gas companies — have known this all along, even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite. None of this plastic will be turned into new plastic things. All of it is buried." https://www.npr.org/2020/09/11/897692090/how-big-oil-misled-the-public-into-believing-plastic-would-be-recycled .how much choice do we actually have anyway. actually....not much. that is what the article I posted is about. how much revenue will car makers be out, when electric cars are the norm. entire repair shop business is done. they have managed to get laws passed in some states prohibiting tesla from opening dealerships. lol. Toyota, is lobbying the us government to slow down the transition to electric. lol.
  13. stupid? nope. it is an attempt to shirk repsonsibility. divert attention. from the fact that they resist change. that they will fight tooth and nail to continue as they always have. in short, its a P.R. job brought to you by oil , coal and gas. they have lied, obfuscatedopposed, bribed, intimidated for decades. article,that discusses this issue https://climateandcapitalism.com/2010/08/15/did-consumers-cause-the-bp-oil-disaster/ and yeah people need to stop driving huge trucks to the corner store and the like.
