We don't need to have this argument yet again here. Your username is 737MAX8, so it's clear how you feel. The simple fact is that this plane was the result of a fundamentally flawed, rushed design with corners cut and safety given lower priority. Just think of how many design decisions would've been made differently if they actually cared about making the best, safest, most reliable plane possible instead of trying to make a plane to use less fuel with the fastest turnaround time possible. The 737 MAX would be something else entirely. So they can try to slap a bunch of fixes over it, but I would rather fly on a plane that wasn't designed to be unbalanced and doesn't have an innate tendency to stall.
Boeing knew the plane's physical design was fundamentally flawed, which is why they went out of their way to hide the details and "patch" it with software they didn't tell anyone about. As one of Boeing's own employees said in an email that only came out in investigations: "This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys."
