(This is good news for people who trust Boeing more than medical workers. You can bring your own screwdriver.)

The serious narrative is shocking:

A Boeing mechanic failed to tighten the bolts on a door-size "cabin plug" that blew out on an Alaska Air 737Max flight. The aircraft had cabin pressure warnings onboard for some time, so instead of investigating/fixing, the airline simply 'restricted' the plane from 'long flights over water' so it could land quickly. No joke.

What are you talking about? I’ve been ordering Vodka and Orange juice when I fly for years!

Buggers won't let me bring my own entertainment on board. I said I'd leave the STTNG pinball on free play for anyone, even bring my own diesel generator to power it,πŸ˜”
