    I remember when they used Trump's commerce department to oust their competition from Canada. Americans called blocking the competition a "win" over the commies.

    No, the problem is not just having too much technology.

    The problem here is like having a coffee maker that will explode and burn down the house without being operated by this automatic system but the automatic system doesn't work well either and can still make your coffee maker explode and burn down the house and you can't override the automatic system when you need to control the coffee maker manually to stop it from exploding the coffee maker. So the solution is not just to patch the automatic system so it works better or teach the user how to turn off the automatic system to manually control the coffee maker but to redesign the coffee maker that it won't rely on this automatic system to function well in the first place. The problem here is not with the MCAS or even the sensor or even retraining the pilots, the problem is with the 737 Max plane itself having the engines too high up above the wings that will stall the plane. The MCAS is already a band-aid solution that Boeing put in to compensate for the possibly stalling instead of redesigning the plane because Boeing wants to build the 737 Max faster and cheaper to compete with its rivals while gambling with human lives.

    And now with even 350+ lives lost, Boeing still doesn't want to go back to the drawing board to redesign the plane to correct the engine positions instead it just wants to patch up the MCAS software and retrain the pilots on how to turn it off because redesigning the plane to correct the real problem would be too costly and take too much time. Airbus would've been able to build all of the A320 that it needed to fill the market demand.

    A dumb home is a safe home. That's the motto that I live by.
