The assumption here is that Boeing is responsible for these.
What exactly does Boeing gain from murdering whistleblowers after the fact? At this point Boeing's reputation is already tarnished and they're already going to be under a microscope, so what does murdering whistleblowers even achieve?
But they don’t appear on price comparison sites. So if you’re shopping around and you see a Delta flight for $300 and a Spirit flight for $200 you have no idea which is actually cheaper. Every time I’ve flown Spirit the baggage price has been variable (based on miles flown maybe? No idea) so it’s not like comparison sites could even add it if they wanted to.
I don't know which sites you use, but Kayak and Google Flights both let you input the number of checked and carry-on bags you're traveling with and include those fees in the comparison.
I'm okay with bag fees. There is a real cost to carrying extra bags. I pack light and don't see why I need to subsidize other people if it's bundled.
On the other hand, fees for things like seat assignment (regular seats, not just the exit rows and such) are just an annoying cash grab.

The embedded threat is reducing anti-poaching enforcement and penalties, or exploring re-legalising the ivory trade with China.
If they had a ready alternative market they could just do that instead of flipping out over Germany decided what can and can't be imported into their own country.

Send them on a barge across the Med, and German-funded rescue boats will drop them off in Italy or other coasts in Europe. Tattoo them with "To Germany with Love" and a few might find their way there. Hannibal brought elephants over the Alps, could be a great time for reenactment filming.
Botswana is a landlocked country.

It's kind of pathetic to make silly threats that everyone knows they have zero ability to carry out.

There are reasons to want your own modem, to avoid overpaying via rental fees, for example, but what security or privacy do you imagine you're getting by buying your own modem?
You're literally plugging it into their network and they can see everything that goes on the pipe whether they are on the LAN side of it or the Cable side.
There's a stronger privacy argument for using your own WiFi access point though.
In my experience, Jira isn't great out of the box but it's pretty good if you take a few hours to understand how to configure workflows, field configurations, forms, and boards.
For example, at my last company I had the development project configured with about a dozen different ticket states, but you created a ticket with a simple form with the title as the only mandatory field but there were optional fields for details and screenshots.
Developers could move a ticket into "in progress" or "can't reproduce". The latter transition showed a form with a mandatory explanation field, and it would automatically get assigned back to the person who created the ticket.
On completing the ticket, the developer has to put in a pull request and can only moves it to the Code Review state and had to pick a different developer to assign it to.
It sounds a bit tedious when you describe it but in practice everyone worked off a board with three or four columns appropriate to their role. They move tickets to the right to advance them or to the left to reject them. There were also automated transitions triggered by things like CI tests, deployment etc.

My friend says she tries to model herself on the Mum from Bluey.
I say it gives children unrealistic ideas about how much play time the average parent can engage in without getting a crick in their back.
Children are capable of understanding the difference between pretense and reality.
My 4 year old loves playacting scenes and games from Bluey but he also understands that I'm not an anthropomorphic dog. Or, for that matter that our dog can't do most of the things the dogs on Bluey can.
