Remember frequency illusion is a very real thing.

Last week an Airbus had a brake failure on approach in Seattle. Did you hear about that?

Remember you're primed to see things that match your biases.

While frequency illusion is a real thing, so is the negligence exhibited by capitalists when they need to report growth quarter after quarter at any cost.

I’ll continue to be primed to see this shit because it’s only going to get worse and worse.

The Boeing merger with Douglas was the end of any "good" corporate culture. Everything for the bottom line - security be damned.

It's the classic short sighted capitalist maximizing of the now at the cost of the future.
