The US is investigating if Boeing ensured a part that blew off a jet was made to design standards::The Federal Aviation Administration said that the investigation is focusing on plugs on Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners.

      I understand your general point of cutting costs etc leading to failures but in this case your comment shows you aren’t aware of Soviet passenger aviation history

          Nah, the relevant question is, “Did Boeing force the Soviets to make shitty planes?” If not, you can’t claim capitalism is the source of crappy planes.

              Obviously it’s a no to your question. Consider the point that the other person is making, though… Planes are bad sometimes regardless of whether they were built in capitalist or communist societies, so perhaps the root cause is not politics.
