   Last night I watched John Oliver's segment about Boeing and how they turned focus away from making quality products in favor of inflating their own stock price though buybacks and cost-cutting. Wow! It's the same toxic shit at my workplace and at many other orgs out there. Yeah Boeing is being naughty but this is a systemic problem for the tech industry and other industries as well. Business majors are ruining everything. My takeaway wasn't just "Boeing bad", it's that our whole civ is fucked.

     Stock buy-back used to be illegal, because it was considered stock manipulation. It needs to be made illegal again.
