“Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.”
Robert A. Heinlein

Boeing used to be one of the Great Companies. Legendary. For a century its technical excellence and innovation kept it at the summit of aircraft manufacturing. But now it faces the worst crisis in its history with its commercial business in particular facing a bleak future.
What happened? I’ll wager that the ‘shareholder value’ concept and a commitment to diversity have been critically important. Back in the day I worked closely with HP and IBM, both, like Boeing, legendary companies and both subsequently destroyed at least in part by diversity. (Hi Carly). I was always impressed by the dedication of their software and engineering staff. Literally 100% White, they’d be at their desks late into the night, at no extra pay, just driven by a commitment to quality and reliability. You will seldom get such commitment and diligence from blacks or affirmative-action women while – trust me on this – bindi programmers will simply try to get away with whatever they can get away with. And with software it’s easy enough to fake test results. http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=200734
