I agree with your comment, even though I have no idea on the technical aspects. What I can weigh in on is crisis management, especially communication.

Boeing needs to take control of the situation and actively start communicating and showing that they are working on fixing this thing. In Situational Crisis Communication Theory you would call it a rebuild approach. They tried denial, they tried downplaying, it’s not working. A rebuild strategy is usually the last resort, as things like admitting your mistakes and fixing them are rarely appreciated by investors. Furthermore it’s usually a huuuuge cost to do a recall on that scale. But Boeing need to show the public that they are actively working on improving the situation, to earn back their trust. So at least a partial recall should be considered.

You’re exactly right in your first paragraph about the news. The media and the public are very sensitive to Boeing quality issues rn. These articles won’t stop unless one of three things happen. Either Boeing gets their shit together and gets some effective crisis management and communication done, the company goes bust, or something else turns up in the news that replaces this. The third option will be the most likely, but it will also haunt them forever. It’s like that exploding galaxy note 7 situation. There were articles about that for every new generation of Galaxy Note, despite Samsung doing pretty well in investigating the issues. And while the following Note phones sold alright, the whole thing was a significant loss of trust and money for Samsung and enabled competitors like Huawai to catch up.

Der Chrissy hat schon wirklich ein Händchen dafür immer genau das Gegenteil von einer produktiven Haltung einzunehmen… Hoffentlich schmeißt die FDP den nach der nächsten Wahlpleite endlich raus.

I know the general gist of the situation. Low spending from domestic households, real estate bubble, excessive government influence on industry scaring investors, and so on.

My problem with it is that most headlines make it sound like it’s all gonna implode spectacularly tomorrow. The articles themselves usually paint a more reasonable picture of the situation, similar to your comment. But most people don’t read the article. They just see the headline over and over.

Feels like I’ve been reading headlines like this for at least 3 years now. If it all finally comes crashing down, it’s gonna be a big one I guess.

It’s the most popular and most hated newspaper in Germany. I would put it at a similar level as Rupert Murdoch’s shit rags.

They usually have dubious journalistic standards, write exaggerated headlines and harass their targets. They also constantly badmouth progressive or environmental causes because their shitty publisher, Axel Springer Verlag, has a very imperialist neoliberal agenda that they enforce in all their publications. I blame them in part for the popularity of AfD, even though they don’t directly endorse them (as far as I know).

Ich bin mir sicher du hast recht, die leben und arbeiten da sehr zufrieden. Unter anderem, weil sie einen sehr guten Arbeiterschutz haben.

Nachdem wir aber nicht davon sprechen gute dänische Arbeiterschutzmaßnahmen zu adoptieren, sondern einen von unseren Schutzmechanismen abzuschaffen, hieße das ja dann am Ende nur, dass wir unseren eigenen Arbeiterschutz schwächen.

Hättest du jetzt erwartet dass die da alle den ganzen Tag weinen weil sie am Sonntag arbeiten müssen?

Selbst in ner Textilfabrik in Bangladesh werden wahrscheinlich nicht alle Angestellten permanent aussehen wie das Elend in Person.

Das heißt noch lange nicht, dass Angestellte dort nicht auch gerne einen gesetzlichen freien Tag hätten.

Nur weil andere Berufe und Länder schlechtere Arbeitsbedingungen haben, heißt das lange nicht dass man sich daran anpassen muss.

Und ließ mal lieber nochmal nach was ein Strohmann ist, bevor du hier mit großen Wörtern um dich schmeißt, ohne ihren Sinn zu verstehen.

Maybe people in the south forgot, but the rest of the world definitely always knew that it’s a symbol for racist historically challenged losers.

It’s crazy to me that these crusty imperialists see nothing wrong with plundering and keeping another culture’s heritage hostage. And they even have the gall to want different artifacts in exchange for returning the old ones.

Brits continue to stay in the running for most backwards country in Western Europe (politically speaking, most of you lads are ok).

Mate, it’s a little too easy to just blame foreign agents and idiots for all this mess. The radicalization process of the GOP has been going on for decades, the social divide has been widening and the US media is doing its part to stir the pot. Sure, Russian trolls played a part in whipping up the frenzy, but the main problem is a home made one, of unchecked capitalism without any regard for whom it might hurt. Without it, trolls wouldn’t have anything to feed on. Happy, well educated people don’t fall for that shit.

US have been living on a policy of fuck you, got mine for decades. It’s a political, cultural and economical problem and it wasn’t invented by foreign agents, it’s home made. People are desperate, uneducated and feeling disenfranchised. If you present them an easy answer and act like you hear their problems, they’re gonna love you for it. A president like Trump was just a matter of when, not if. Blaming stupid people and foreigners won’t fix shit.

Also, it’s quite ironic that you have so many spelling mistakes, in a paragraph making fun of people for not being able to spell empathy…

I mean, most companies still don’t abide by it tho. There’s lots of sites where you can accept all cookies or you have to jump through a few hoops to decline the non essential ones.
