Boeing executives still not being arrested and persecuted is truly a testament to freedom and democracy.

Should similar case happen in an oppressive, authoritarian, autocratic, and communist country (such as Vietnam or China), the executives would have received death penalty.

Boeing execs are basically high ranking CIA for all intents and purposes, which makes them untouchable. On top of that, Boeing has been hollowing itself out by subcontracting production off to spinoff companies which then subcontract that out work out to someone else and records never seem to exist when something goes oops. Minimum liability and maximum profit.

In Amerikkka, the only Boeing people who get the death penalty are the whistleblowers.
