Sure it will. Boeing, the entire O&G sector and blackrock have all suddenly filed bankruptcy.

Let's look at the stock history: oh yeah boeing hasn't suffered financially at all. let's see, 2019: peaks at $422.. today $221

now, I'm not gonna tell you that's fallen far enough to make up for the shittery, but it's hardly doing their business good.

but thanks for playing!

Oh you mean when they did all of their share buy backs and then subsequently diluted by 50%

What other games you got? I’m enjoying playing

haha how about a quick round of hide and go fuck yourself while we're at it.

positing that their incompetency hasn't hurt the company at all is simply silly.

edit: aw guess not huh sport?

It’s not their incompetency, it’s their malice. You think all their recent issues have been from their stupidity?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

malice is a kind of incompetence. and yeah, I think their lack of forethought regarding the future of their business is fundamentally stupid. you would too if you had half a brain.

you're too quick to assume it's some kind of intentional effort to assassinate their userbase - when as usual it's cut corners and profit seeking, because the engineers haven't been in charge for a long time, and the bean counters are stupid enough to think they can run a manufacturer better than the slide-rulers when the stakes are literally sky high.

should they be held accountable for their stupidity? of course.

I didn't bring crayons so I can't simplify it further. vaya con disco.
