The fundamental concept of ANY business is to make money. Businesses everywhere, not just America, don’t care about anyone or anything except making money. That is where the role of the government comes in. “Pure capitalists” don’t like regulation, but regulation done right, not only protect everyone from excessive greed, but also businesses themselves from excessive greed.

In case of Boeing, regulations exist but were left to be self enforced. If they were enforced correctly, Boeing would not have the opportunity to cut corners and would’ve been saved from the consequences of their own greed.
