#DOJ reaches deal with #Boeing to allow planemaker to avoid prosecution

DOJ said on Friday it has struck a deal in principle with Boeing to allow it to avoid prosecution in a #fraud case stemming from 2 #fatal 737 MAX #PlaneCrashes that killed 346 people.

The agreement allows Boeing to avoid being branded a #convicted #felon & is a blow to families who lost relatives in the crashes & had pressed prosecutors to take the US planemaker to trial.

#CBP has quietly rescinded several policies designed to protect the most #vulnerable people in its #custody—including #PregnantWomen, #infants, #elderly, & people w/serious #MedicalConditions.
The decision, outlined in a May 5 memo & signed by #Trump’s Acting Commissioner #PeteFlores, eliminates 4 #Biden policies enacted over the last 3yrs…intended to address CBP’s long-standing failures to provide adequate #care for #detainees who are most #AtRisk—failures that have, in some cases, been #fatal.

"In sports news, #Republicans #sold #Taiwan to Communist #China for a 3rd round draft pick, and some unannounced #bribes to be paid later"

Because this is how things go these days.

It's not even #news.

It's just #Entertainment.

Some videos of smart #bombs, ships, buildings blowing up, and then non-stop #ads for #ChickFilA, #WalMart and some drugs for #acne and #gas that have #fatal side effects.

Good times people. Enjoy while you can.

“[H]ard data seems to show that—whether due to vehicle design, driver behavior, or a combination of these two factors—Teslas suffer twice as many fatal accidents compared to other brands.”

“Musk and Tesla’s repeated #autopilot claims may have led drivers to over-rely on a system that […] is not much better than a drunk raccoon driving a clown car.”

@Mjack In truth, I really do rather want to play #FATAL . Is it a terribly designed game with way too much detail for way too little payoff? Absolutely. Is the setting absolutely absurd? Is that exactly why it's a little bit intriguing? Yes.

Do a mash-up with #Myfarag and everything would be just that much more deliciously tuned for complete absurdity.
