You fully misunderstood my stance. The person I responded to said "despite everything Biden is doing" as if he's created other controversy. I was asking what that controversy is.
Autonomous cars can also get into basically the trolley problem. If an accident is unavoidable, but the car can swerve and kill its own passenger to avoid killing more people in a larger wreck, should it? And would that end up as more liability for whoever takes the blame?
Great question, I'm curious too. I definitely don't want to give Boeing to benefit of the doubt. Just wanted to give perspective that there aren't a lot of aircraft manufacturer options.
Honestly I'm more disappointed that this isn't the first time on Lemmy that I've seen someone delete a post and then try to make a big scene about how they didn't like the responses they got and were giving up on a community.
Lemmy has so little content that your complaint post gets to be top of a community for a while, so that's nice.
You're not the main character, people are entitled to opinions, and you don't have to care or take them personally. It's the internet, there will always be someone who complains even if it's entirely unwarranted.
Boeing and Airbus are the only large passenger aircraft manufacturers that I'm aware of.
Don't get me wrong, Boeing's doing awful lately. But even on a good day the odds are high it's Boeing, and even higher when news outlets know people want to hear about every fail from Boeing suddenly.
This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.
The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.
There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.
It's not beneficial. We're in the realm of aesthetic design, and no amount of reasoning will free you from these toaster coasters.
