"Here’s a radical idea: How about give them a test on the procedure manual? A test that employees must pass, before working on the disassembly line? Is that really so hard? For airplane mechanics?"

It may not be that difficult, but it would definitely be racist.

Anti-White surge ruining Boeing? Check out the medical field:

"One professor said that a student in the operating room could not identify a major artery when asked, then berated the professor for putting her on the spot. Another said that students at the end of their clinical rotations don't know basic lab tests and, in some cases, are unable to present patients.

"I don't know how some of these students are going to be junior doctors," the professor said. "Faculty are seeing a shocking decline in knowledge of medical students."

And for those who've seen the competency crisis up close, double standards in admissions are a big part of the problem. "All the normal criteria for getting into medical school only apply to people of certain races," an admissions officer said. "For other people, those criteria are completely disregarded."

This exact article you linked to was running through my mind as I was reading C&C this morning. As a (former) nurse, I have observed a few things recently that have me questioning whether I want any of my loved ones to be admitted to a hospital. I feel fortunate that I’m old enough that my chosen health care professionals will outlive me. "Ugh, I agree the surgical medical textbooks are just way too long and complicated to read and understand," is not something I want to hear just after my anesthesiologist says, "I couldn’t get through the procedure manual for this type of surgery, but I’m sure it will be fine."

Not to worry. The Electronic Health Records will tell the health care employee exactly what treatment protocol is to be used and the health care employee will be monitored for compliance. No original thoughts needed.

Also HIPPA has nothing to do with your privacy.And birth certificates and newborn screening are a data harvestors dream.

Highly recommend this site https://www.cchfreedom.org/

and this book. https://www.cchfreedom.org/big-brother-in-the-exam-room/

I went for my annual check up as required by Humana/Medicare. The dr office is manned by the typical corps of dei (black) staff. The overweight young woman who did the initial interview i e b/p, etc spoke some version of English. When she went over the list of meds posted in the laptop she was using she could not pronounce the names of most of them. I made her spell them. She could hardly do that. The next day i found a different doc.

BRAVO, Joseph!! I don't go for the "annual wellness visit" anymore...I went 'off the grid' in 2022 and haven't looked back. Found a wonderful Mennonite group of doctors (husband and wife) who started their own practice in 2017 and they have already opened a second office with new, young, NON D.E.I. staff.

The best advice I received from a wonderful, competent and experienced physician/surgeon recently was don’t even consider going to a physician under 40 yrs old. He said as he and his colleagues have worked with and trained residents doing their rotations he said they became offended if they were corrected by an experienced physician or surgeon and reported them for being critical and hurting their feelings. This physician/surgeon also said they used Google to look up discharge instructions to give to the patient. Sad. I’ve taken his advice to heart. Try to avoid the broken healthcare system.

Find HIPPA is only used to stand in the way of family members ever finding out anything about their loved ones. My 103 yr old Mom is in an CBRF/ALF and recently was encouraged to allow a hospice program to get involved. My sister and I (RN and former hospice nurse) resisted as long as we could - until the facility said she could only stay if we agreed. Since mom had been there 3 yrs and thought of it as her home, we finally agreed. BTW, Mom is simply old - she has no cancer or kidney disease or heart disease or any other "thing" that would suddenly go whacky and do her in... Except, for these hospice people muttering something about "psychic pain" and insisting on opioids for some vague knee pain. When talking to one of the staff about what exactly they planned to give her, I was told that they could couldn't tell me because "HIPPA".... We had, in fact, paperwork to the contrary but none of them admitted having any knowledge of that.

I dislike any government agency knowing more about my medical issues/care that my beloved family... or even me, in some cases.

Norma its really ironic you would post this this am.

Just last night I had a dream/nightmare where I was internally struggling deeply because I needed a surgery and I was refusing to have it. While I am terribly afraid of surgery, the last 4 years makes me distrust the vast majority of drugs including anesthetics. I don’t want that in my body so wpuld I rather attempt to treat naturally and maybe not clear the issue.

Your comment gives me even further pause to NOT treat.

NormaJeanne's avatar

It is truly unnerving Lisa. And the decision to rely on alternative natural therapies is complicated by the fact it’s increasingly difficult to find a natural practitioner within traveling distance. The corporate healthcare system is squeezing out any methodologies other than the ones they provide. One look at who is buying up the supplement companies is frightening. The idea of starting with the least invasive treatments is a philosophy that has disappeared. There are still many practitioners who are worthy of our trust, but you have to be diligent in your research.

For example, Mullein which is considered a weed is used for respiratory issues, ear infections and other uses. Just yesterday I got stung while walking the dog, so I took 3 leaves of yarrow, which is an antimicrobial herb, chewed it to make a poultice and rubbed it on the stung area and it took the pain away and there was no swelling. Simple once you know what is available. I urge people to educate yourself on alternatives.

The bible mentions some natural cures.

'Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest. And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine him; and indeed, if the leprosy is healed in the leper, then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field. He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean.'

A good friend of mine described her very well-qualified nephew's experience being interviewed for med school. This young man is a man of Christian faith. Somehow one of the interviewers knew this - maybe from some extracurricular activities listed on the application - and took the opportunity to ask how the young man would advise a family whose young child wanted to be the opposite sex.

Now, first, it's absurd to ask an applicant for med school how they would manage a patient. They have not yet learned that sort of thing. Secondly, the interviewer used the young man's answers to recommend against his admission.

I experienced this when my MS symptoms appeared in the same year I gave birth to my third child. It took five years to get a diagnosis and I was made to feel like a crazy person ( oh the gaslighting) in the process. Eventually I was diagnosed and put on many medications. I felt even worse with the official DX and treatment, so four years later as my “ disease” was progressing, got fired as a patient for refusing to take MORE meds, I was on 26 daily medications at the time, that made my quality of life worse. I told my doctor that if this was as good as I could expect to get, i’d take my chances with radically changing my diet, lifestyle and herbal remedies. He laughed and told me i’d be dead in two years. Seven years later i’ve completely healed myself and climb mountains again. Now I coach people through figuring out how to heal themselves.

Disappointing to read. I was prepared several years ago with an information dump for my 88 yo mom's new GP about the link between statins and cognitive decline. Decline was observable. Her former GP retired and would have none of my upstart suspicions, and mom was not disposed to listen to me above the doctor. Surprisingly, the young family practice physician said 'they' usually take patients off statins in their 80s. Just like that, it was done: no more statins. Sadly, decline has not been reversed. There definitely is info in the literature about a link between statins and cognitive decline but I don't know if there's any advocacy in the literature for no statins in advanced age. Do you look into it? Your mileage may vary. A prayer for you.

Low scores, low grade point average. and no pre-med classes... minority... don't worry, you'll have tutors, free books, free ipads, fewer tests, you've never had better chance. It is disgusting! It is going to be a nightmare!

The doctor were first against the government getting into medicine and paying the bill because they knew government would tell them what to do and what not to do. But they did it anyway. They took the government's money, and look where it got them.

And of course there's so much more in support of your/the unfolding nightmare scenario. The old system has to be decimated before what the more aware - and heart-based vs. analytical alone, methinks - heightened, collective consciousness will create. A new paradigm. Decidedly not saying what it will look like because I don't know!! except more cooperative than top-down authority. What a time to be alive on earth - good, bad and ugly.

Omg my sister went in for knee replacement surgery last week. The person charged with giving her a spinal could not get her properly numbed. After several failed tries with my sister in pain they chose to go with general anesthesia! As they were bringing her out of it her heart went into AFib! She is still in the hospital!

Yup, the problem is not a fifty page manual (which doesn't seem all that onerous to me for something as complicated as an aircraft). The problem is a company culture where following the manual is considered optional. That's a management problem, not a workforce problem (though having illiterates in the workforce certainly complicates things).

"For whatever reason, the article (citing the NTSB report) focused on a standing 50-page manual for safely removing parts from airplanes.|"

This is a bit of a mystery, as apparently Boeing planes dissasemble themselves, in flight.

Seriousely why the focus on taking planes apart, when clearly assembly and known design flaws are the problem. What about the inspections that are internally done? Were those DEI hires? It is apparent that if a problem is not properly addressed, it will not be solved.

Yet still there is somehow a bigger play here, as Boeing issues, the incredibly botched effort to stop the assasnation attempt on Trump, the immigration issue, the failed withdraw from Afganhstan, the destruction of inexpensive energy production, with 0 affect on global temperature, the horrible ineffective COVID policy, are all incredibly counterproductive to stated goals. One can only sumise there must be different goals then the advertised ones.

The fuselage plug thing was a pretty standard screw up. The plug was installed by the subcontractor who manufactured that part of the fuselage. It had to be removed for some reason and wasn't reinstalled correctly.

The issue here is multiple failures. There were employees performing a task they weren't qualified to do or they would have done it correctly. Managers assigned unqualified people to do the work. Quality Assurance either botched or missed the inspection that was supposed to ensure the work was done correctly.

What was missing in all of this was a mindset that this job is really freaking important, people could die if we don't do this right. That mindset drives meticulously following proven procedures, attention to detail, and conscientious inspection. It's a corporate culture problem that is two faceted; a cavalier attitude regarding the task and no fear of personal consequences if they screw up.

The establishment political class are clearly not working for the people who ostensibly elected them. It's becoming obvious even to average, normal, non-conspiracy-theory types that they're working for some foreign power. Everything they advocate for (open borders, energy dependence, anti-policing/pro-crime, 9 month and beyond abortions, the climate scam, the trans agenda, more spending, "follow the science" tyranny, DEI, censorship attacks on 1A, attacks on 2A...every single policy I can think of) is harmful to the US and its people. Not one thing they advocate for helps the US or is even popular with voters. They have to use the compliant MSM to hide their actual ideas from normal voters.

So, it seems pretty obvious to me at this point they are working against the US and its people, and working for someone else. Who it is that they're working for, we can argue about. But I don't think it's rationally possible to view it from a different lens at this stage.

Seriously, it's unreal how slow the process is. It's been almost 5 years since the covid insanity started and just in the last few months I've noticed people talking about it as a scam more openly in comments sections and forums (not even political forums). I've also noticed even the holdover maskers are far less common.

I'm guessing 5 years from the time the first flashes of dissent start entering the public discourse is going to be a pretty good estimate for when it will go from "crazy conspiracy theory" to accepted as historical fact. So slow. And of course most who shouted down the dissent will suddenly clam up, pretend they never did that, and act like they always agreed with the dissenters.

Same deal here: living in a blue area in a blue state. Probably does slow it down by a good bit b/c of the way politics have become identity. As in: "It's WHO I AM!!"

Though when the positions were reversed and it was about the Iraq war and the "war on terror," the red areas were slower to accept the facts for what they were. (I will say, however, the conservatives were more open to admitting they were wrong about W, WMDs, etc. than the liberals have been about masks, lockdowns, Fauci, etc.)

Why do I feel like Boeing’s problems are stemming from a controlled demolition of a mode of transportation?

Served the 15 min city crowd🤡.

To make that dream come true, a generation of dumbing down our younger generation and giving them kudos for just showing up-when they do—and you have high esteem idiots taking care of rockets that hurl us through the air at great speeds.

Is now the time to suggest that airships are a much better way to fly? Low altitudes—land anywhere—even over water if you make sure to put a hull under the cabin as we see from our ‘steam punk’ era.

Every new invention leaves us less safe. Every new generation is programmed not taught to think.

Our daughter(41) has a problem getting staff to show up consistently and do their job in a responsible manner—and this is a wine bar, not a rocket. It’s the same generation keeping planes in the airs.

This is not progress but a controlled devolution. And the controllers know it.

I remember back in the 90s when I was teaching in a public university a colleague told me that while cleaning out a filing cabinet, she had come across some old quizzes and exams a former professor had given 20 years earlier. She said they were much harder than anything she would even consider giving, and performance of the students was vastly superior. Even the worst grades were for things that would be considered minor then. She said "I thought I was probably just expecting too much and maybe college students had always been this way but now I can see how horrifically things have deteriorated." She was clearly rattled (as was I). Keep in mind, that was 30 years ago. I can't even imagine how bad things are now!

From my past time in aviation, I strongly suspect that the "50 pages" was just the section describing how to remove that one component. There would be a different 50-page section for each other component, and so on. (Well, some wouldn't be 50 pages, it might be just 2-3 pages if it's changing a lightbulb or something!)

We were often warned to go and print out the section of the (electronic) manual EVERY SINGLE TIME no matter how well we knew the task, because the manual might have been revised since last time to avoid a recently-discovered problem. If that attitude is missing from Boeing, it doesn't surprise me that things are going wrong.

So if the hard 50 page manual is to take apart an airplane door... how long is the "put it together manual" ? That must be longer and written in English? or is it in Spanish for all the "new hires" maybe Ebononics? asking for a friend...

How long is the manual to say rebuild the engine? or put a tire on.. .(reminds me of a skit by Ron White) and lug nut school and sears ..

Along with Harley, schools, beer, John Deere, and sports etc... everything that the US stood for is being dismantled.. why? so they can take over all of it and eliminate it.. Look what they tried to do to Federal Ammo.... or are still trying to do... its bad....

I believe we are being used as the boycott group (being effective) to really put business out of business, Then they can scoop them up and destroy them or bring them back as shells they once were, or make them foreign owned......

Actually, the bigger picture is even more ominous. Certainly, affirmative action and DEI are part and parcel of the Gramscian march through our institutions, but the (European) globalists have been hard at work ruining all of our signature industries for some time. Disney, for example, can no longer make non-woke movies because management has been infiltrated. First they came for professional football, etc., and now they're just about done ruining the automotive industry so that no one can afford to travel outside of their 15-minute prisons, um, cities.

Boeing is part of the same program, so the failure has to have come from the top. It's a planned demolition, just like the one currently underway of NYC. In Boeing's case, it's also worth keeping in mind that Airbus (France) and British Airways are competitors of Boeing who stand to gain from its demise.
