Boeing doesn't have a culture problem, they have an idiot problem. The idea that you can hire competent engineers offering salaries like that is absurd.

They need to adopt a pay for performance mentality and bring in managers who are not afraid to fire underperformers.

No sane organization would ever implement this. If someone repeatedly makes mistakes, they're going to get fired even if the mistakes are unintentional. Anything else is going to cause more safety issues in the long-term as inadequate employees are allowed to proliferate.

This is like building a calculator that can't get 1+1 correct, and then complaining nobody would ever need a calculator to calculate 1+1 so therefore it's an unfair question.

This is where you're wrong. A non-trivial percentage of Google's workforce does want to be racist and does want to offend.

And despite the fact that this group is a minority in the company, their lack of scruples allows them to have substantial power in setting corporate policy. Since they're willing to play dirty, they get their way more often than the employees who play by the rules.

If you've been following Harvard's anti-Semitism drama over the last 4 months, it appears they're not really accountable to anybody. Neither US Congress nor their wealthiest donors have been able to force action from them.

Also, Showmax most definitely does not have more subscribers than Netflix. That is only true if you limit to a specific geographic region. But if you don't state as much in the title, you are lying by omission.

Sure enough, the blog post was completely deranged -- to the point that the author even tried to present it as a given that reporting on both sides of an issue is a bad thing. This moron is legitimately mad that modern journalism isn't propagandistic enough. Incredible.

I don't see well-to-do businessmen jumping into the road all that often, but I do see deadbeat beggars do it every day.

The tinted front/rear windows really piss me off because they make my drive more dangerous for very little reason. I'd make them illegal if it were up to me.

It's pure delusion. Capitalism isn't coming to an end any time soon. None of the candidates for the 2024 election are even close to being anti-capitalist.

I can see it already in my company. Many of the newer engineers don't even have basic language skills. Reading their design documents is an exercise in divination. This has repeatedly resulted in delays and costly miscommunications between partnering teams.

We need a national push to raise the quality of our educational institutions from grade school through university. And we need to re-focus the curriculum on the subjects of greatest importance: reading, writing, math, and science.
