The 2 crashes caused 346 deaths - so that works out to a little over half a million dollars per death … not that the families will see much of that - if any.

The cost to Boeing is somewhere between the SALES PRICE of 1/2 a 737 - to as much as 2x 737s (As of August 2022, 15,302 Boeing 737s have been ordered and 11,117 delivered.)
-
The fine represents just 2% of the total investment Boeing made into the 737.
The CEO responsible left Boeing December 2019 - and will be fined $1 million … his exit package in 2019 was around $60 million - so what 2% of his exit.

A different kind of musical note … check out the work of Vivian Stanshall and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Viv provided ‘MC’ services for all those lines you referenced, including;
“Spanish Guitar and introducing acoustic guitar”
The Bonzo’s track Death Cab For Cutie also gave that band their name.

“If the government gives me prima facia evidence that they are classified documents, and you don’t advance any claim of declassification, I’m left with a prima facia case of classified documents, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s the end of it,” Dearie said.
Trump’s lawyers argued they can’t explain whether Trump really declassified any of the documents because that would reveal their future defense strategy if Trump ever gets charged with a crime.

I try to type ‘maps’ and it comes out ‘maos’ - which I don’t notice and so search.

“I do not give you laws or administer justice. But I can do something else. I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations,”
In defence of Truss (Now there’s a line that I bet you thought you’d never read on this blog!)
The news is full of how the British public never chose Truss as their Prime Minister.
News Alert - They never do choose the P.M.
That choice is made by the usual suspects in the ‘Tory circus’.
Truss is possible because the people that vote in the (massively safe Tory) constituency of South West Norfolk voted that way.
If she called an election today, when all is said and done she still might still be P.M. and still the only people that will have voted for her are the people that vote in the (massively safe Tory) constituency of South West Norfolk.
