Scapegoating, will be heard more often in Federal and Higher Courts. The blind will not see, The deaf not hear. The people who could talk leave in Fear, as if the didn't hear or see.Boeing post inspection failed. At least they could admit on of their pet projects derailed.A huge order list 150 Ryanair etc. caused them to operate in the mist.
