After half a decade of trying to blow the whistle, he was finally making serious progress, as Boeing's own planes keep falling apart because of the exact same shoddy practices Barnett has been trying to tell everyone about.
Then, he inexplicably "self-inflicts" a fatal wound just as his lawsuit starts getting serious traction. This dude was straight-up murdered, and we're all going to act like that didn't happen, even though it obviously did.
It sure would be a shame if something were to... happen to him, capiche?
I feel the need to correct you in one matter: we (The People) are doing something about it! Why, Trump has been on the campaign trail for months now, saying how we should fix this very problem!
I am talking about allowing people to murder journalists and tattletales, ofc, what did you think I meant? We aren't "America" if we don't allow (checks notes) ~~Freedom~~ Murder of the Press, apparently. (Jon Stewart's recent take on the matter)
I don't think anyone is going to act like it didn't happen except Boeing and the authorities.
Who is “We” ?
