  • One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.

    Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.

    Typically kid A’s parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid “gets bullied all the time” while kid Bs parents aren’t experienced with the policies and aren’t positive that their kid didn’t do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don’t fight it too hard and just want it to go away.

    Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly “gets bullied all the time” is doing exactly this.




  • Super weird that you are claiming all this familiarity with the factory and the motivation of the complaints without realizing that they don’t build the Max in South Carolina so that has nothing to do with this.

    They also don’t build it in Everett so it’s super weird that you met so many people who worked on it there. I guess that in all your many social and professional associations with Boeing people in Everett that it just never came up at all that they build the plane fifty miles away in Renton. Even though non fictional people at Boeing are pretty goddamned specific about which airframe they work on because it literally determines where they live.

    This is a fun study in how anecdotal evidence isn’t all created equal. Made up nonsense is worth quite a bit less than stuff that actually happened.
