If people want to exercise choice - by all means, and I’m happy at the margin to punish Boeing, but I agree from a personal risk standpoint it’s probably inconsequential.

I’m always amazed at where people spend energy mitigating risk, I had a coworker who was worried about taking the Covid vaccine but was hardly the picture of health and rode a motorcycle to work many days - it’s like putting down the beer, eating a salad, and taking the bus will give you massive gains in life expectancy vs some minor unknown delta with the Covid vaccine, but to each their own. I just wish we could get people to use micromorts (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromort)

I think if you zoom out you’ll realise that none of us actually know much about risk of things we’re doing.

Like there’s a hundred ways changing your diet could harm you rather than help even if you think you’re reducing your risk.

I don’t disagree, but I'm also not talking about debating a Mediterranean diet vs keto, I’m talking about cutting out fast food and big gulps…

my favorite was watching people - riding a bike in traffic without a helmet - but wearing a mask (even when not required by law).

Talk about not understanding risk.
