    An underpaid Boeing engineer has a chance to accidentally do one of the funniest, most earth saving oopsies of all time.

      With the recent history in aviation, I’m going to be praying like mad. Please tell me they’re still Boeing products?

    Boeing, Musk, and a rushed time frame? I’ve rarely seen a better recipe for disaster. Maybe we are lucky and Trump and his cronies just fall from the sky even on the first flight.

    If Musk can fly a rocket, Trump reportedly told associates, per the NYT, he can probably fly an airplane.

    He’s never been on one of his rockets. He’s too chickenshit. Fuck Bezos, but at least he had the balls to go up on a Blue Origin rocket. If you think Musk is ever going to Mars, you’re wrong.

    trump killing himself by using Musk to skirt safety precautions so he can feel special riding around in a shiny new ego tube might be enough to get me wondering if god exists.

      Maybe if we all concentrate hard enough we can will our reality back on track and make this happen. Somewhere around 2016 someone at CERN started a new experiment and ever since we’ve been in the wrong universe, through concerted efforts of enough of Earth’s latent psychics maybe we can push this world back towards the correct timeline.

      Or maybe make things worse.

          In a span of ten years, I lost two parents, a sibling, another sibling was committed and never recovered, nearly lost my partner of 20 years and she ended up in a coma for a month, as a result I lost our shared business, lost my car as a result, then two pets died, then lost my house. Set to all this was Donald Fucking Trump being elected twice, a rampaging virulent epidemic that half the people didn’t believe was real, and nazis coming back and genocides becoming fashionable again, and violent anti-science groups forming across the world.

          It’s reeaaallly hard to not think that there’s something deeply wrong with the world. Particularly after growing up in the 80’s and 90’s when our biggest cultural upset was Ellen coming out on TV guide.

      Would be even better if they got boeing to help too. Would be just the best plane ever, such a great plane. Other people would look at it (as it explodes in a fireball in the sky) and say wow what a beautiful thing

    Trump is completely right on this issue. Despite the fact his plane is produced by a company plagued with consistent quality control issues I believe this should be rushed into service as quickly as possible. In fact, I agree that the anyone including temp workers should be allowed in to get this thing in the air today.

    Oh wow, what’s the worst that could happen, they skip safety and defense features and the plane gets shot down and the president killed? Oh man, that would be horrible, just horrible!

        As liberals are the other half of the same coin, they are responsible for at least half the horrible shit that happens in the country. Why not give them the blame for killing the president though, it could be the one useful thing they do in the last several years!

            Hey, you guys enshrined abortion rights into law, since you had the chance and promised to do it, right? No? Well, at the very least you didn’t use the police to brutalize anti-genocide protesters, right? No? Well, at the very least, you’re standing up to Trump and opposing his Project 2025, right?

            No?

              Which of those things did the aforementioned non-white christians [they probably meant non-christians, but whatever] cause specifically?

              Edit: Did 100% of the people in those groups cause this?
