I'd like to add that many believe the move to Chicago brought on the current 737 issues, as the Engineers lost their direct and local chain of command. So, it wasn't just bodies that were lost.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 11:37 amthe only reason they didn't move lock stock and two smoking barrels is because they couldn't readily replace those folks somewhere else.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 9:06 am
It sucked to lose the headquarters but the most valuable jobs stayed in Washington (or are already in South Carolina). As a state, I would rather have thousands of manufacturing and engineering jobs then tens or maybe hundreds of corporate jobs.
Which city/state is more unfriendly to business? Chicago, Illinois or Seattle, Washington?
The executives actually relocated.

Funny how nothing was done until the Mayor's house was directly impacted. Same story with Portland.

That won't fit the narrative.
For what it is worth, he doesn't seem to run them over on purpose. Couldn't see around that van and was traveling too fast to make a correction. Bad situation for the guy.

I’ve been to 100 auto-ped accidents and one hallmark of the fatal ones is that the pedestrians’ shoes are always knocked off - always

Wrong. There was ZERO reason for those people to be blocking an interstate. Don’t stand in roadways, don’t get run over. Simple. Interstates are for vehicles, not people. Don’t be a whiny bitch.

"unnecessary violence"?
Did the black guy who hit them do it on purpose? Looks like he was trying to avoid them.
What's unnecessary was to be protesting in the middle of an interstate, but what the hell do I know?

And there was zero reason for him to be driving on a closed interstate. They were trying to figure out how he got on it and that maybe he drove up an off ramp.
It doesn’t sound much like he was a casual motorist suddenly confronted by rioters. Witness accounts and the video suggests he sped up. He also kept on moving, post strike.
I don’t know about you but when I’m driving on a closed interstate and come across that situation I proceed with caution or stop rather than gunning it. If I accidentally hit two people I’m thinking about stopping again.

You sure are spilling a lot of ink defending people on foot on interstates at night
BTW - the way he behaved after hitting them was perfectly consistent with every accidental auroped I have ever seen
