Exactly. MCAS was a "cost cutting measure" implemented without consideration for anything else--including safety.

SpaceX's (almost) entire existence is centered on a cost cutting measure: reusing rockets. But they didn't approach it in a way that killed a bunch of people.

Yet. SpaceX hasn't killed a bunch of people yet.

If you look at the history of flight, the biggest periods of progress killed people left and right. I'm not sure space can't go forward without doing the same.
