Boeing & ESG

Posted in Biden by

Boeing participates in Old Joe’s Environmental, Social, and Governmental ideas. It is not a required program, but those companies that refuse to take part, Joe makes it goes rough on them.

I looked up Boeing’s program. It wasn’t difficult. It took me less than 5 minutes. They seem proud of it.

For those who have not had it explained to them, it means putting environment, social justice and government at high or maybe highest priority. This means, over safety, over making money, over religion (right & wrong) as well as all other things.

For decades, Boeing has had a very strong reputation, top to bottom, bottom to top. I say it this way because it seemed as important for those building the planes as those in the management.

Now it would seem that the feds have gotten into the management, things are getting sloppy. I dare say, it seems true throughout aviation.

We have parts falling off planes. When they checked about the panel falling off, they found other planes with problems from the factory. Then, they fond other problems too.

That problem with the door panels was a real disaster waiting to happen. As it was, it provoked real fear into those on that plane. I’m sure it caused real financial problems with the Airlines too.

It makes me wonder, why the sudden increase in errors. Who, if anyone was punished. Were there any shake-ups in management. I’ll never know.

Worst, we will never know what role ESG played in it. We will never know what role it played in the decisions after the fact. Are there any corrections not made for the sake social justice? Will any lives be lost in the name of the environment? Finally, what role did the government have to say in the matter?

It has led me to wonder if we will ever learn what all this monster from Maryland has brought to us.

I hear stories of people suing, though I am not sure who they will be suing. Normally, I would not be in favor of such suits. It drives the cost of air travel up.

In this case, let them go at it. A real message needs to be sent, safety is far more important than ESG. Actually most everything is more important than ESG. That person in that seat nearest that panel that fell off will likely 2nd my motion.

Let’s Build Things Right

Posted in Being woke, Biden, Going Green, Lawyers and Representation, Uncategorized by

Just for grins, I thought about spelling right, write, which would be wrong. Because I have a horible time with spelling, especially homophones (used to be homonym in my youth). Ironically, rite, wright, right and write are especially easy to get wrong as they are a group of 4. Most are groups of 2 or 3. Naturally they all have similar spelling. The English language would suddenly become easier if they were all spelled the same. Much better if true for all homophones.

However, instead, someone way back when decided to complicate my spelling life and came up with 4 spellings, each with its own meaning(s).

Now why am I speaking of spelling when my intention is to speak on fridges and washers. Well, I guess there is oddly a similarity. I promise.

In 1972, a long time ago, before the age of personnal computers, I purchased a 14 cubic foot coldspot fridge that, as far as I know still works. About 2005, I made a mistake. I wanted a bigger, better fridge…with an ice dispenser. It barely outlasted its 1 yr warrentee. I had it repaired. It broke again.

I bought another. It lasted 2 years and broke. Anyone notice a pattern here? Is there something wrong that they they can’t build them right?

When our washer broke, we bought another. Now that was a bad idea. I should have had the other one repaired. It was just a belt. I don’t have any memory of the old one dancing around the kitchen during the spin cycle. Thought about figuring a way to nail the new thing to floor.

The problem was, it works just the way it is supposed to. I can’t expect them to fix it on warrantee. It is simply a design defect. They didn’t design it right.

Guess I’ll be forced to buy a front loader. All the top loaders seem to like to dance. It is the result of an effort to decrease water usage. Well, I guess I could go back to the old wash tubs. It is just the two of us. It isn’t that hard. Fortunately, I still have a good gas dryer. If it breaks, I will get it fixed. I really might not like a new one.

Now. As for the new fridges. They have 3 things wrong. The old ones used a grate on the back of the unit as a condenser. No moving parts and easy to get at. The old ones used simple mechanical timers, which were simple, realiable, inexpensive and easy to replace. Modern ones use computers, complex, expesive, difficult and nearly impossibie to get to. You’d think such parts would have an easy access panel.

Then there is the coup de grace. Instead of using a heating element for defrosting, they use lights, which must be replaced on a regular basis. With us, it was about yearly.

Now, here’s the connection I promised you between the spelling and engineering. In general, people do expect me, an amateur, to get it right, though, I must admit I am prone to mess up now and then. These characters, engineers go to college four years and they are paid a bunch to get it right. They don’t and they still get paid.

As a short word in the defense of the engineers. They are under a lot of pressure to go green. (you know, Environmental, Social, Governmental, ESG)

You see, just as they decided to make English more difficilt, they have also decided to make appliances more difficult.

Okay. It is a stretch, a big one. Stll you get my point.

Incidentally, I wonder if it ever comes up in board rooms that they can make more profit off units that they can advertise as computer controlled instead of the old mechanical ones.

ESG carried to Extremes

  1. Shelby County Clerk, Wanda Halbert… among other things, can’t keep track of revenues. It’s been one panic after the other since she was sworn in.
  2. Vice President, Kamala Harris. When Old Joe looked for a running mate, you recal, he chose the one person in this country less qualified than than he is. His 2 requirements said in public: female and Black.
  3. Again, when Old Joe went in seach of a justice, he chose one of the few people in this country, correction, world that cannot define a woman. Justice Katanja Brown Jackson met the only two requirement for Old Joe. You notice he didn’t list so much as one more requirement. However, truth be told, she very likely is in favor of ESG policies. She was likely told she was just before Joe selected her.
