Here is another damning Boeing message, follow the source for more:
I'm wondering how shorter the lifespan for me and others like me will be in the long run.
I'd say that's pretty bad but as the deaths are not instantaneous, the long term damage is difficult to quantify.
Now for the past 5 years (I'm 38 now) my life is about trying to find places with clean enough air, which is much harder and more expensive in winter time.
I'm always looking at experiments that reverse methylation damage, and hoping that those experiments succeed before I get cancer, but there's only 1 successful experiment so far, and I have no idea if it would help me.
Last year I was in small cities in Colombia, like Pereira or Armenia in small hotels/AirBnb-s far from the city center.
I can't live in big cities anymore, and I'm really missing it.
I'd like to go to Australia as well, but I'm afraid of the air pollution due to forest fires.
Regarding living close to highways: air pollution close to them are much higher than farther away, and you spend a significant amount of time sleeping at home, so you if you are not lucky, you are affected.
Generally background noise is a good predictor of air pollution in my experience, just open the window, and if you hear cars all the time, you should look for another place to live.
For Boeing you have multiple lines (not only the 737 MAX but the 777 too) going as far as handing over bribes to the FAA, with upper management investing the budget savings on some yacht time.
