Dear Reader,

Boeing didn’t just gamble with money. It gambled with lives.

346 lives to be exact. All gone. Because a corporate giant thought it could lie its way past regulators. And now? They want a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back for being “woke.”

• DEI Takes Center Stage: Judge rejects Boeing’s plea deal, citing concerns that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) priorities could overshadow merit-based oversight in a deadly corporate fraud case.

• Lives vs. Profits: Families of 346 crash victims decry a plea agreement that prioritizes PR over justice, leaving victims marginalized in favor of corporate interests.

• A Stand for Accountability: Judge O’Connor’s bold decision is a win for victims and a sharp rebuke of backroom deals that ignore lives lost.

Here’s the story: Boeing admitted to deceiving federal regulators about the 737 Max flight control system—a flaw that led to two catastrophic crashes. The company struck a plea deal with the Justice Department, agreeing to pay a measly $487 million in fines. That’s pocket change for a corporation of Boeing’s size. The families of the victims? They’re asking for $24.8 billion.

But that’s not what sparked the controversy. Judge Reed O’Connor rejected the deal, and here’s why: DEI.

The agreement included a provision requiring the federal monitor—tasked with ensuring Boeing’s compliance—be selected “in keeping with the Justice Department’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.” Translation? Qualifications might take a backseat to identity politics.

Judge O’Connor wasn’t having it. He called out the contradiction, pointing out that the government’s vague commitment to DEI could mean race trumps merit. And when lives are at stake, that’s a dangerous game.

DEI: When Woke Priorities Become Deadly

Diversity and inclusion sound great on paper. Until they’re used as corporate shields. Boeing isn’t in the business of morality; it’s in the business of optics. By prioritizing DEI over accountability, Boeing’s plea deal sent a chilling message: woke ideology matters more than lives lost.

Imagine being a family member of one of the 346 victims. You’ve lost everything. Your loved one is gone. And the company responsible gets to play identity politics instead of facing real consequences.

Attorney Paul Cassell didn’t mince words. He called this the “deadliest corporate crime in history.” And he’s right. Boeing's plea deal doesn’t just insult the victims; it marginalizes them.

Judge O’Connor’s Stand for Justice

The judge’s decision is a turning point. A bold rejection of the status quo. He’s making it clear: justice isn’t a PR campaign. It’s accountability.

Boeing and the Justice Department have 30 days to come back with a plan. Meanwhile, the victims’ families will be heard. For once, their voices matter more than corporate spin.

But let’s not forget what’s really at stake. DEI is creeping into every corner of corporate America. It’s no longer about equality. It’s about power. And when that power is unchecked, it costs lives.

Final Thought

“Go woke, go broke” isn’t just about dollars. It’s about trust. Lives. Accountability. And Boeing’s case proves it: when woke ideology takes over, everyone pays the price.
