Bravo

nice vid!

Boeing is STILL greedily manufacturing 737 MAX planes that should have all been recalled and no longer made?!?
Despite poor, faulty design and life endangering defects, Boeing's .00000000000001%ers are just as profits over people as ever. Thanks for the warning, Charles. Some grossly overpaid billionaire execs just never learn.

Those staples scare me. What next, Boeing execs, spit, chewed gum, and bracing wire for the wings?

re 737 Revamp:

Fuck Boeing. I'm flying Airbus. I understand Allegiant Airlines ordered 50 Boeing 737 MAX 7s, coming in 2023.
Is no airline safe from deregulated capitalism anymore? Let's not forget that Boeing no loner pays union wages, either. They'd love to hire anyone just in off a boat, offer $5.00 an hour with no training for a 16-hour-a-day shift, and make the poor individual think he or she is getting a real deal in America.
Cadillac zoom in America! 12 in a room in America! That's the West Side Story.

Rock ON, Cyndi Lauper!! Oh! Oh! Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

@5: Aiiigghh!! Griz did it again! What IS it with me and typos when I'm sober as a judge?
Make that: "Let's not forget that Boeing no longer pays union wages, either..."

Good grief, Charlie Brown! I bathe with soap, shampoo and conditioner, and of course use deodorant!
Anyone preaching to do otherwise must be a dumpster diving meth-head.

Media: stop handing Musk the microphone. His fortune literally rises on the undeserved attention he gets from being wealthy and eccentric and at this point all the chatter is a bit of a pile on. Yeah, he’s super rich, he’s unconventional, he’s not that deserving of this much headspace. How did we learn nothing from Trump?

Charles, you're really the best. I absolutely love how I instantly know it's your Slog roundups just by the quality of your writing voice.

The seats are not made by Boeing, they’re made by a company called Recaro. The individual airlines choose and purchase the cabin fittings. Many adhesives can’t be used on planes because of flammability, the staples are lightweight and easy to replace if damaged.

@9, @10, and @11 Totoman+3 Agreed. Musk is very much like the Orange Turd to me: when I see an image of either one, I scroll past. I am grateful to never have opened a Twitter account, and never will. Ugh!
Better yet, I take a break from social media, altogether, as The New Yorker Magazine cartoonist Emily Flake very aptly once recommended in a clever one-framer.

@ 14 you can easily chop all that browser/cookie identifying clutter unique only to your instance when sharing URLs. It's especially helpful on forums like this that do not allow for hot linking. It's fine but howbout this instead?

That said, thanks for the read. :)

Those traffic cameras are just a money grab. Some of the lights indicating an active school zone are placed behind trees, and it lowers the speed on main thoroughfares to 20mph, creating a huge line of vehicles 2x/day.

That’s why the council loves them.

Cyndi Lauper is wrong. The Respect for Marriage Act does not protect marriage, but actually allows states to stop giving marriage licenses, even if they have to recognize marriages from other states.

It’s a pretty goddamned fucked up bill that should have codified marriage rights as a federal law, but instead grants states permission to rule over it. Additionally, it may also give states the legal basis to over turn the law through the argument of states vs federal rights.

@14 - To clarify @16, the question mark and all characters that follow can be removed. If the last character is a forward slash, that can be removed as well.

Five Yeahz Cleah!

@5: good luck with your plans to avoid flying on Boeing.

"It is a terrible plane to sit in. The plane's seats were not made for humans, but for as much money as possible."

Charles, when it comes to seat pitch, Boeing merely produces what their customer orders. It might be a spacious 34+ inches, or it might be a miserable -29 inches.

It's not Boeing's fault you elected to fly with a cut-rate carrier trying to cram as many passengers into the aircraft as possible.

I've flown on probably a dozen MAX flights this year, and have zero problems with the planes. I am not a Scarebus fan whatsoever, and two crashes out of however many flights during the same time period isn't a deterrent. It's far more dangerous to drive to far flung destinations than it is to hop on a plane. More efficient too.

And Charles, the fact that you are oblivious to the fact that it's carriers, and not Boeing that dictates the interior layout of the plane says a lot. Stop flying Spirit or Allegiant, upgrade to the extra leg room and cash in on those free drinks.

@17 CandyLips: Thank you for inadvertently explaining at least partially why I make a point not to travel often, if at all, by air. I'm trying to make my carbon footprint as small as humanly possible. I drive an older car with good gas mileage, but only seasonally during good weather.

@21 Max Solomon: I don't fly much anyway, and just flew to and from Los Angeles, but...does Boeing have a monopoly on manufactured planes nationally and worldwide? At least with Allegiant (for domestic locations, anyway) I can fly directly from my city and don't have to go through the nightmare that is Sea-Tac. I would be leery of taking long international flights with multiple stopovers, regardless of the jet manufacturer. My faith in Boeing has plummeted to the negative regions.

@23 theincrediblek: I'm glad Boeing's jets work for you. Safe travels.
