Another Boeing whistleblower. Is there a pool for how long before they feel irreconcilable guilty and take their own life?
The finance bros strike again.
This same story has played out countless times across every US industry
The only people who haven’t learned these lessons are the very rich and Those They Fleece.
Just as well. Good business isn’t profitable anymore. Best to grab what you can on the way out.
Looks like Agent 747 is back in business
2025 is starting out as another good year for Agent 47
Joshua Dean had a memory keen
He was strong and he ran every day
But his lungs turned to goo
And he had a stroke too
At 46, he was sent on his way
Boeing killed John Barnett
We don't know that for sure, but it's pretty likely.
I think there is a lot of probable cause and events that suggest profoundly that he did not take his own life. For example, he blew the whistle and was not done testifying. He had another round after that and had it scheduled. He wasn’t in for a penny, he put down the pound up front. I can’t think of any reason he would stop half way…
Now, was it an executive decision, or just a stockholder worried about their cash flow. Who knows. But if I was an investor, I’d look at Boeing first. But, we know how it goes. Barnett wasn’t rich, so there was no manhunt.
