    Aircraft maintenance is heavily regulated. This was a new plane, and the result of the failure is that all planes of that type have been grounded.

    There are plenty of issues caused by corporate greed and lack of regulation as it is, but this isn’t one of them.

      The story of the 737 MAX is corporate greed. It’s just by Boening, not the operator. However, the operators heavily influence the choices by Boening.

      Actually, you make my point. Without regulation that was outside the hands of capitalists, they wouldn’t have been grounded. Capitalism only cares about profits. Thank hell, that there are a few regulations left, right?
