@arstechnica I've known David Braben was lying since the Elite Dangerous , it's nice to finally be vindicated.

Boeing's outgoing CEO could get a "golden parachute" worth as much as $45 million.

The CEO before him got one worth $62 million on his way out the door in 2019.

America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

@rbreich when I was a child I asked my father "why are big bosses paid so much".
He told me they work a lot and have lots of responsibility.

Okay.

I'd be happy to "work" by playing golf and eating in expensive restaurants, while getting 45 millions for not taking any responsibility and putting air passengers at risk.

Seriously, what a job!
