✈️ Who’s to blame for the Boeing door issue?

The mid-flight blowout of a Boeing 737 Max 9 door has people talking: Is the blame on Alaska Airlines, or Boeing?

✈️ A Boeing 737 Max 9 operated by Alaska Airlines suffered a mid-flight panel blowout. BBC reports that Alaska received warnings days before the incident.

✈️ @kyle25morin says Alaska deserves some of the blame here. It ignored crucial warning signs!

✈️ But Bloomberg thinks the blame lies with Boeing: The 737 Max is supposed to be the brand's “safest plane”, but it keeps having issues.

✈️ Either way, the Financial Times writes that Wall Street seems to blame Boeing: Boeing and supplier stocks took a hit after the incident.

🎬 Jodie Foster’s comments on Gen Z

Jodie Foster speaks out on what it's like to work with Gen Z, sparking debate. Is she right to criticize?

🎬 Fox News: In an interview, two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster critiqued Gen Z work ethic. She said she finds them “really annoying” and lacking in basic email etiquette.

🎬 @melyanaklue agreed: Foster is right — attention to detail is really important. Gen Z, take note!

🎬 But @funtime87682 said Foster's take on Gen Z is off-base: Blame poor management skills for workplace problems, not Gen Z’s work ethic.

🎬 A Redditor on r/Filmmakers had a different take: Most of Foster's employees are probably nepo babies. Maybe her issue is with them, not with Gen Z as a whole.

🎬 On the other hand, maybe her criticism was overblown? In a followup interview with ET, Jodie Foster clarified that she “loves” Gen Z.
