True, one month ago,Everyone stay calm, this happens all the time, nothing to see here.
Must be more of that "hey its not my job" kind of thing. Hey guys wheel fell off that jet we just worked on. Everyone looks around and says at the same time, wasn't my job to bolt that thing on.2 more accidents today.
1) 777 lost a wheel with tire that landed on cars in parking lot in San Francisco. Partially crushed small car and a Tesla. Looks like it was wheel+tire. Lucky it didn't hit anyone would have killed them most likely.

Spirit AeroSystems, one of the major sub-contractors for Boeing and a key player in a lot of these failures, had an extremely "woke" DEI video that they've since scrubbed from the internet. There are some people who saved the video before it disappeared, but I'll just post a screenshot.Well, if it makes anyone feel better, Boeing does take diversity and inclusion very seriously....

Now that we are older, a few years ago my wife and I directed our investment manager to reallocate much of our stock portfolio to invest in companies that pay dividends and will hold value in a down market. Since then, our portfolio has performed better than the S&P 500, and we have been getting steady income from the dividends. Apparently, there is enough interest in this type of stock that it is driving up share prices.I will not play the stock market anymore. Any company who makes stock value their focus has telegraphed that they are only interested in short-term gains over long-term viability. You cannot grow a stock value forever, eventually you have to "cash out" and invest in long term growth, or simply burn out and die.
If you really want to invest in a company for a return look at places that pay dividends based on profits and do not give a damn about the actual stock price. These are companies that are focused on being companies, not some magic investment opportunity that you cash out of tomorrow. But there are precious few of those because it can take decades to recoup your investment, and Wall Street does not have time for that.
