Is incompetence rewarded? You Be The Judge..(Not about Mr. Trump,) [View all]

...Is total incompetence rewarded? Is that possible? You be the Judge.. (idea about "You be the Judge" from the Saturday Evening Post...many years ago..)

...In a well known international company that makes airplanes, the big boss is fired by the board of directors for approval of an airplane that kills people. There is evidence that people that made the plane knew that the plane could kill people, but the big boss is not held responsible other than loosing his job. In the big boss's contract, he walks away with 50 million dollars. The plane that the big boss was responsible for has killed over 325 people. Is the big boss who approved this plane and allowing it to carry people, sitting in jail awaiting trail for killing more than 325 people? The answer is NO. But he knew the plane could kill, and did nothing...(or should have known-that was his job, to know ahead of time)..There is evidence that the people that actually made this thing, (the airplane) knew that it could kill.. but the big boss did nothing. Has the big boss been rewarded for approval of an airplane that kills? You be the judge..

...A well known country shoots down a plane that has 176 passengers and crew. Who is responsible for the shoot down?... The big boss of the country that controls the military that killed 176 people. -- says it was an "accident." That country lied about what it knew about the "shoot down" for a few days while the world waited.
... Is the big boss of that country going to be rewarded for this "mistake"? This event is still being discussed today. It is not known if the big boss of that country will be rewarded or punished for this mistake that killed 176 people...Will the country that is well known, do the same thing that the airplane company big boss did? Will incompetence be rewarded? You be the judge...Will the person that ordered the shoot down get money or sit in jail for the rest of his life? I have no idea. I Have NO Clue. I am not the judge. What do you think will happen?...................You Be the Judge..................
