The Boeing hearing that occurred yesterday featured testimonies from a whistleblower and other experts highlighting the declining quality of Boeing aircrafts due to skimping on quality checks and ignoring reported issues. This was due (shocker) to their prioritization of profits and making shareholders happy.
Boeing has an extensive history of problems ranging from "incidents" to straight up disasters, for which they always receive a slap on the wrist. Are there really gonna be significant repercussions for Boeing?
As a side note: I don't think Boeing would have had an opportunity to get to this point if the transportation system wasn't so fucked in the US.
