The following submission statement was provided by /u/sambha87:
Boeing's decline illustrates a pattern seen across major institutions — when financial engineering displaces operational competence, the decay is slow and invisible until it catastrophically isn't. The 1997 McDonnell Douglas merger handed control to executives who optimized for stock buybacks over safety margins, and the 2024 door blowout mid-flight was the visible symptom of a rot that had been building for 27 years. This is what late-stage corporate capture of critical infrastructure looks like.
