Summary

No guest this week, as the boys instead sit down solo to discuss the nihilistic right wing death cult that’s getting whipped into an upward spiraling murderous frenzy by the extremely respectable media. Why do they all rush to distance themselves from the things they encourage their readers to do? Why is it that when we make up a fake Brendan O'Neill article, the real Brendan O'Neill writes it basically verbatim? Do you want more Commie Book Club?

0:00.0	Hang on, what do I hear in the distance?
0:02.4	Is that?
0:03.0	An address from friend of the show, Brendan O'Neill.
0:13.0	In the wake of the tragic Ethiopian Airlines plane crash last week, the Western liberal
0:17.3	intelligentsia have been taking it upon themselves to become aviation experts.
0:24.5	The keyboard warrior journalists of Twitter are asking hysterical questions like,
0:29.3	is the Boeing 737 Max safe and what is being done to prevent another such tragedy?
0:32.8	One thing they seem to have picked up on is the idea that Boeing should not sell so-called safety features as extras, but that rather safety should be included as standard. But should
0:38.3	the onus of safety be on the manufacturer of the plane or on the airline for buying it?
0:42.9	Why should Boeing have to give away their patented safety features for free just because
0:46.6	hundreds of people might die? Deaths in aviation are of course unfortunate, but this is the
0:51.6	thin end of the wedge. If Boeing have to start giving away safety equipment for free with their $100 million planes,
0:56.9	then where does it end?
0:58.1	Should airlines start getting jacuzis installed on their planes for free,
1:01.2	or have them fitted with petting zoos at no extra cost?
1:03.7	This is madness.
1:05.8	Beyond the frothing of the anglophone chattering classes, though,
1:09.3	Boeing are actually being investigated by the
1:11.1	FBI over this. Look, should we get to the bottom of this tragedy in why it happened? Certainly.
1:15.8	But should that be left to government bureaucrats? Absolutely not. Boeing should be regulated by
1:20.2	the free market. If they continue to kill their passengers, then surely people will switch to a
1:24.6	different plane. If I were killed by a Boeing plane, I would certainly do this.
