Legally this isn’t murder since this was done to increase shareholder’s stock values for Boeing (or defend against future stock value losses).

In the US court of law a publicly traded company is legally bound to maximize profits at all costs, including utilizing murder to silence vocal critics who might trigger unnecessary governmental regulation or stoke socialist worker movements.

I’m sorry people got up in arms about this, but don’t blame Boeing or the person they undoubtedly paid to murder the whistleblower. It isn’t their fault and they aren’t morally culpable, the whole point of the way the rules are set up is to create the narrative that things have to be this way so it is absurd to turn that 180 degrees around and say Boeing had any other choice here than to risk murdering the whistleblower and just hope everybody in the US is just too burnt-out to care or react.

You think it was easy for the executive who ordered the hit to go home to his kids and have dinner afterwards? People don’t get how hard CEOs work.

Indeed it appears this omission has caused confusion.
