   Reuters does a decent job on keeping us all updated, IMHO: "The assumption is that it was installed or rigged incorrectly,” one of the sources said" https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spirit-aero-made-blowout-part-boeing-has-key-role-sources-2024-01-07/.

     @jwildeboer I thought we already knew the root cause: corporate greed.

     The panel of the Alaska Air Boeing MAX 9 has been found. So I guess it won't take long until the researchers can close in on the root cause of this accident. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/no-data-captured-alaska-airlines-737-cockpit-voice-recorder-ntsb-chair-2024-01-08/

     @Datenproletarier @jwildeboer Are they competing out of altruism?

     Competition is a symptom. Greed is the cause.

     (And competition isn’t even required – see monopolies.)

     Hard no! Greed is not at all a valid category to criticise anything in capitalism. It's pure competition that forces capitalist to always maximize their profits and hoard even more capital than the competition.

     @Datenproletarier @scadoosh @jwildeboer I’d like to see the Venn diagram between greedy people and capitalists because I have a feeling it’s a perfect circle.

     Not sure there are that many greedy anarchists or socialists walking around. At least not that I’ve met.

     You just defined greed.

     @Datenproletarier @scadoosh @jwildeboer To be fair, I’m really not that bothered by splitting hairs. If you’re telling me capitalists are not greedy people, we disagree. But I really have better things to do.

     Are you intentionally using a straw man or did you not understand my criticism?
