Statistically 1 in 4 billion people will die of Boing whistleblower disease.
Well, assuming that the cases we know of are the only cases
That’s the big picture. The small picture is at 100% of Boeing whistleblowers this year only continued living for a few months after blowing their whistles. (Disclaimer: no facts were checked in the writing of this comment.)
It’s crazy that we live in a time where a huge corporation can quite literally call hits on whistleblowers with impunity.
Trump will never be punished for anything, why would they? He and all those Epstein prosecutions have proven once and for all that rich and powerful is all you need to do literally anything you want.
I wish I had chosen to be a criminal in this life. I would have gotten so much further ahead.
only if youre a criminal with an incomprehensible amount of money
And only rob the poor. Touch the rich and the law will dropkick you so fast.
That’ll show those poor!
Did you mean with impunity?
Ja
and send a message to everyone else: try to talk about shady activity or corruption, go on, try.
Too big to fail, too big to jail
whistleboeing
This should be a thing. Can we all agree to make this a thing?
🇮🇪
I have a feeling that this data only represents the two boeing whistleblowers that died recently and not all of them, but I can’t be certain as OP has not cited where they got this data
The rest of the whistleblowers need to die before their life span can be added to the data.
We could still use their current ages to make a lower bound
Is it significantly different?
Yes, early 40s is significantly different from late 70s.
I meant statistically significant. Like in “how much chance is there that this difference was due to randomness ?”. There is statistcal tests for that.
Afaik, there are only two dead Boeing whistle blowers, so you can’t form any sort of actually meaningful statistics on their life expectancy due to the small sample size. However it’s enough to say “that looks very suspicious and I think these ‘suicides’ should be investigated as murders”, and I think the meme is just meant to draw attention to that.
Yeah this wasn’t exactly a scientific endeavor on my part.
Seriously !? Why is it so weird that I make a statistical joke on a meme that makes fun of statistics XD
Didn’t see this till I posted the other reply. I’d say your first one looks enough like a joke, but the second followup makes it look like you’re serious.
I mean, since the sample size is rather small, it’s not really possible to do a reliable statistical analysis on Boeing whistleblowers,.
As a straight percentage, however, they DO suddenly die in their early 40s much more often than the general population, so might not be total happenstance 🤷
A-are you asking for accurate statistical analysis in c/funny?
Yes XD I realised my mistake now
And here I was thinking that whistleblowing was supposed to about blowing the whistle, not about whistling and afterwards blowing.

I’m waiting for some irish person to comment. Will this get OP killed in Norn Iron?
