Stockton Rush

A term used when cost cutting starts compromising safety because someone thinks safety is over-rated and too costly. Named after the Titanic asshole CEO, captain of the OceanGate "Titan" who killed 4 people and himself by being a race to the bottom motherfucker by setting the gold standard for race to the bottom when his submersible imploded 4,000m below the Atlantic Ocean.

Boeing put the Stockton Rush on it's 737-Max roll out and killed hundreds of people as a result.
