The concept of a death triggering a stock jump is so Running Man. If only LSC was as entertaining as that movie... šŸ˜‘

The only thing they find terifying is "Line go down" and even then they'll never admit it

Capitalism and the global financial system is psychopathic by design.

Look up ā€œThe NEW corporationā€ on YouTube it goes full into this itā€™s nice.

The original one really opened my eyes and I started seeing the world quite differently.


PoorFilmSchoolAlumn

Of course the stock rose. The threat was eliminated.


ButtonEyes98

Luckily 10 more stepped forward in response to the latest death. Imagine the metaphorical balls required to do so in the face of clear retribution. Hard not to respect someone, let alone a group, faced with such an impossible choice.


Impossible__Joke

1 whistleblower dying is suspicious, 2 dying is extremely unlikely, 10 dying would be impossible to cover up. There is safety is numbers.


Prestigious-Log-7210

No one can tell me that first whistleblower killed himself. I just donā€™t see it and canā€™t believe how little Boeing gives a shit if we all know they are killers.


Brandonazz

Well corporations are only people when it benefits them. When they do crimes, it takes a goddamn think tank of lawyers and an army of investigators to have any hope of imposing even modest consequences, and thereā€™s a good chance that those consequences will fall on some executive scapegoat and the leviathan will lumber on, unimpeded, anyway.

Threat**s**. Wasn't this the 2nd dead whistleblower?


FluffyLobster2385

good lord don't give them ideas


ShadykillaWolf

This just incentivizes murder for corporations

Welp, thatā€™s gross.

Because they care more about their stock price than peoples lives. Logan Roy would be proud.

Basically a blood sacrifice to the stock market. Khorne is pleased. Blood for the bull market, skulls for the stock throne.


rrunawad

It's a bull market, stocks typically rise no matter the logic. Or lack thereof. That's capitalism in a nutshell. Especially since there's never going to be an official investigation, so the suspicious death of whistleblowers can be pushed aside as mere ''conspiratorial thinking''.


morriartie

The stakeholders probably bought a lot of shares to mask the fall I thought that was standard behavior. We can't use stocks to measure public opinion in the short term, there's too much market manipulation


iveseensomethings82

Karl Marx was right


Mrhappytrigers

May the executives of Boeing experience the flaws of their planes that they silenced 2 whistleblowers for. šŸ™


Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit

Itā€™s just as likely one of their top shareholders took out the whistleblowers as it is Boeing itself did. > The top shareholders of Boeing are Timothy J. Keating, Leanne G. Caret, Theodore Colbert, Vanguard Group Inc., BlackRock Inc. (BLK), and Newport Trust Co.


FausttTheeartist

Well, thatā€™s a terrible sign for the future.

Ofc, Boeing mitigated a potential risk, stocks go up. šŸ™„


xavierjackson

This headline is why LSC was created


avoidy

Investors were like "you see what Boeing does to its whistleblowers? Holy *shit,* now there's a company we can get behind!"

Crazy


cnews97

Iā€™m late but this is non-news, the DOW went up 1.18% today and BA only went up .94%. The real misnomer is the stock price skyrocketing by $10 literally 5 min before the market closed, then dropping back down $10 at close
