To the editor: The writer does a wonderful job of fleshing out the “Freefall” documentary’s warning of the hazards of unfettered capitalism (“In ‘Freefall,’ Rory Kennedy revisits Boeing after whistleblower’s death,” Aug. 19). He notes that President Biden’s Division of Justice pursued felony investigations in opposition to Boeing’s executives for “deceptive” the general public in regards to the true design defects presumably answerable for the deaths of a whole lot of harmless passengers. However when the Trump administration took over, that felony investigation was dropped.
The author says the movie “appears to color a broader portrait of simply how harmful unregulated, unfettered capitalism is, particularly underneath a tentative or disinterested federal authorities.” There may be nothing in regards to the Trump regime that’s “tentative” or “disinterested.” Trump knew precisely what he was doing when he allowed company negligence and attainable felony acts inflicting mass deaths to go unpunished. Sadly, it matches a sample of this administration, one which we’ve the ability to carry to a crashing halt on this 12 months’s midterm elections.
Director Rory Kennedy is to be counseled for this essential movie.
