So you’ll know it’s supposed to be funny.
If you’ve ever watched the the videos of the Big Bang Theory sitcom with the laugh tracks removed, you’ll notice it feels a lot more like a group of people being shitty and verbally abusive towards each other and it’s not all that funny without being told to laugh.
Why go through the trouble of writing an actual funny dialogue when you can just tell the viewers it’s funny and they’ll laugh?
$244 million fine is what they’re looking at.
346 people have died on the 737 Max, that means they’re getting fined less than $1m for every life lost.
This is a joke, Boeing made $2.2bn last year, that’s $6 million a day.
Thats a little over 1 month of lost wages for killing 346 people.
