Nova Pyrotechnica knows that its missiles are unsafe, yet is doing nothing about it. That\u2019s willful negligence and what ultimately makes Nova responsible for what happened to the young Mr. Castillo.\n\nThat\u2019s an interesting and emotional argument, Ms. Mirotic, but from my understanding Nova Pyrotechnica makes over a billion missiles during a standard year. As tragic as those stories may be, it\u2019s also an unfortunate yet inevitable part of the missile business.\n\nFran Mirotic: That may be, but there are multiple reports cited in the lawsuit that show, on average, missiles made by Nova Pyrotechnica malfunction more frequently than others. That\u2019s a lethal combination when they are packed with such large payloads. This company is selling military grade missiles to the public, but skimping on safety. As a wildly profitable company, Nova\u2019s priority should be on keeping its customers alive, not lining shareholders\u2019 pockets.\n\nNova is selling a product that makes people feel safe in a dark and dangerous universe. If its missiles were so problematic, why do you only reference a few dozen similar cases in the lawsuit? Why not hundreds \u2026 or even thousands? I understand that you\u2019re attempting to establish a pattern of negligence but, at these numbers, it\u2019s statistically insignificant.\n\nFran Mirotic: Want me to be honest with you?\n\nYou\u2019re a lawyer, why wouldn\u2019t you be?\n\nFran Mirotic: If a Nova missile malfunctions and explodes on a ship flying solo through space, we won\u2019t know about it. If pilots die due to issues with their Nova missiles, but their families and friends lack the means to pursue justice, we don\u2019t hear about it. A lot of Citizens and civilians who have had problems with Nova missiles aren\u2019t around to share their stories. That\u2019s why, in conjunction with this lawsuit, the Castillo family will be filing a complaint with the Weapons, Munitions and Firearms Bureau. The UEE must tighten the limits on the amount of cannonade allowed in missiles made for public use. There\u2019s no reason people need this much explosive to defend themselves. It\u2019s nothing more than a marketing ploy with deadly consequences.\n\nDidn\u2019t the Armistice Initiative already attempt this?\n\nFran Mirotic: The Armistice Initiative wanted ships to enable certain safety protocols while in secure systems. We want the WMF to regulate the size of payloads being sold to the public.\n\nWe don\u2019t need more regulation from the WMF. It\u2019ll only hurt a thriving business. There\u2019s more than enough information on Nova and its products available to consumers, and you know what? Consumers love them.\n\nFran Mirotic: Sometimes what people want and what\u2019s good for them aren\u2019t the same.

So stay tuned for that and more on Kaizen.\n\nEND TRANSMISSION","de_DE":"\u00dcBERTRAGUNG STARTEN\nAaron Schere hier, um Sie zu einer weiteren Folge von Kaizen zu begr\u00fc\u00dfen, Ihrem F\u00fchrer durch den Sprungpunkt zur finanziellen Zahlungsf\u00e4higkeit. Wir haben heute einen guten f\u00fcr dich. Fran Mirotic ist hier, um \u00fcber die Klage zu sprechen, die sie gerade gegen Nova Pyrotechnica eingereicht hat, aber bevor sie von ihrer Anwesenheit beehrt wird, lassen Sie uns ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit auf zwei Schwergewichte der Branche richten, die ebenfalls Probleme haben. Das ist eine Marktanalyse.\n\nDie Wertentwicklung in der Vergangenheit ist kein Indikator f\u00fcr zuk\u00fcnftige Ergebnisse. Weder Schere, Kaizen noch Farnes Media Partners garantieren ein bestimmtes Ergebnis oder einen bestimmten Gewinn. Bevor Sie nach Informationen in diesem Programm handeln, sollten Sie dringend erw\u00e4gen, Rat von Ihrem eigenen Finanz- oder Anlageberater einzuholen.\nZuerst sollten wir uns bei Origin Jumpworks informieren. Nach den j\u00fcngsten Anh\u00f6rungen im Kongress sind Origin und der Goldfinch-Datenbruch wieder in den K\u00f6pfen der Investoren. Die schwachen Zahlen des letzten Quartals aus Origin haben offensichtlich ein paar K\u00e4fige ersch\u00fcttert, da ihr Aktienkurs gesunken ist. Die Investoren scheinen besorgt zu sein \u00fcber stagnierende Schiffsverk\u00e4ufe in Verbindung mit den kostspieligen Upgrades der Datensicherungs- und Sicherheitsinfrastruktur des Unternehmens.\n\nAls n\u00e4chstes kursieren Ger\u00fcchte \u00fcber interne Konflikte zwischen den Top-F\u00fchrungskr\u00e4ften von Hurston Dynamics \u00fcber das, was mit der schleppenden Antimaterieproduktion in ihren Werken geschieht. Selbst ein kleiner Produktionsr\u00fcckgang k\u00f6nnte Hurstons Ergebnis sp\u00fcrbar belasten und sie zwingen, den teuren Vorl\u00e4ufer von Dritten zu kaufen, um ihr aktuelles Produktionsniveau f\u00fcr Antimaterie-Sprengk\u00f6pfe aufrechtzuerhalten.\n\nDas Problem k\u00f6nnte f\u00fcr Hurston noch schlimmer sein, wenn Ger\u00fcchte dar\u00fcber, dass sie eine neue Linie von antimateriellen Waffen entwickeln, wahr sind. In diesem Fall k\u00f6nnten erh\u00f6hte Rohstoffkosten die Forschung und Entwicklung stark beeintr\u00e4chtigen. Auch das ist nur Spekulation, aber etwas, das bei der Prognose der zuk\u00fcnftigen Ertragskraft des Unternehmens zu ber\u00fccksichtigen ist. Man bedenke, dass Hurston die Freigabe seiner neuesten Generation von Antimateriereaktoren aus technischen Gr\u00fcnden immer wieder verz\u00f6gert hat und ein Bild von einer Spaltung im Aufruhr zeichnet. Wie viel von diesem R\u00fcckschlag das gesamte Unternehmen betrifft, ist noch offen.\n\nEin weiteres Unternehmen mit einem Problem ist Nova Pyrotechnica. Fran Mirotic, ein Anwalt, der die Familie von Xander Castillo vertritt, hat heute Morgen eine Klage gegen das Unternehmen eingereicht. Die Klage behauptet, dass Nova beim Tod von Citizen Castillo fahrl\u00e4ssig gehandelt hat. Um die Gr\u00fcnde daf\u00fcr zu erkl\u00e4ren, m\u00f6chte ich Fran Mirotic in der Show begr\u00fc\u00dfen.\n\nFran Mirotic: Sch\u00f6n, hier zu sein.\n\nDas ist eine ziemlich ernste Anschuldigung. Ich hatte noch keine Gelegenheit, die Klage zu lesen, da ich sicher bin, dass es f\u00fcr die meisten Zuschauer dasselbe ist. Also, bitte, erleuchten Sie uns, was der Kern dieser Anschuldigungen ist.\n\nFran Mirotic: Xander Castillo musste nicht sterben, und auch nicht die Dutzende anderer B\u00fcrger und Zivilisten, deren tragische Geschichten auf den Seiten dieser Klage erscheinen. Nova Pyrotechnica wei\u00df, dass seine Raketen unsicher sind, tut aber nichts dagegen. Das ist absichtliche Fahrl\u00e4ssigkeit und was Nova letztendlich f\u00fcr das verantwortlich macht, was mit dem jungen Herrn Castillo passiert ist.\n\nDas ist ein interessantes und emotionales Argument, Frau Mirotic, aber nach meinem Verst\u00e4ndnis macht Nova Pyrotechnica \u00fcber eine Milliarde Raketen in einem Standardjahr. So tragisch diese Geschichten auch sein m\u00f6gen, es ist auch ein ungl\u00fccklicher, aber unvermeidlicher Teil des Raketengesch\u00e4fts.\n\nFran Mirotic: Das mag sein, aber es gibt mehrere in der Klage zitierte Berichte, die zeigen, dass Raketen von Nova Pyrotechnica im Durchschnitt h\u00e4ufiger versagen als andere. Das ist eine t\u00f6dliche Kombination, wenn sie mit so gro\u00dfen Nutzlasten beladen sind. Diese Firma verkauft milit\u00e4rische Raketen an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit, aber sie spart an der Sicherheit. Als ein wild profitables Unternehmen sollte es f\u00fcr Nova Priorit\u00e4t haben, seine Kunden am Leben zu erhalten und nicht die Taschen der Aktion\u00e4re zu f\u00fcllen.\n\nNova verkauft ein Produkt, das die Menschen in einem dunklen und gef\u00e4hrlichen Universum sicher f\u00fchlen l\u00e4sst. Wenn seine Raketen so problematisch waren, warum verweisen Sie in der Klage nur auf ein paar Dutzend \u00e4hnliche F\u00e4lle? Warum nicht Hunderte... oder sogar Tausende? Ich verstehe, dass Sie versuchen, ein Muster der Fahrl\u00e4ssigkeit zu etablieren, aber bei diesen Zahlen ist es statistisch unbedeutend.\n\nFran Mirotic: Soll ich ehrlich zu dir sein?\n\nDu bist Anwalt, warum solltest du es nicht sein?\n\nFran Mirotic: Wenn eine Nova-Rakete versagt und auf einem Schiff explodiert, das allein durch den Weltraum fliegt, werden wir nichts davon wissen. Wenn Piloten aufgrund von Problemen mit ihren Nova-Raketen sterben, aber ihren Familien und Freunden die Mittel fehlen, um Gerechtigkeit zu \u00fcben, h\u00f6ren wir nichts davon. Viele B\u00fcrger und Zivilisten, die Probleme mit Nova-Raketen hatten, sind nicht da, um ihre Geschichten zu erz\u00e4hlen. Deshalb wird die Familie Castillo im Zusammenhang mit dieser Klage eine Beschwerde beim Amt f\u00fcr Waffen, Munition und Schusswaffen einreichen. Die UEE muss die Grenzwerte f\u00fcr die zul\u00e4ssige Kanonendosis in Raketen f\u00fcr den \u00f6ffentlichen Einsatz versch\u00e4rfen. Es gibt keinen Grund, warum die Leute so viel Sprengstoff brauchen, um sich zu verteidigen. Es ist nichts anderes als ein Marketing-Trick mit t\u00f6dlichen Folgen.\n\nHat die Waffenstillstandsinitiative das nicht bereits versucht?\n\nFran Mirotic: Die Waffenstillstandsinitiative wollte, dass Schiffe bestimmte Sicherheitsprotokolle in sicheren Systemen erm\u00f6glichen. Wir wollen, dass der WMF die Gr\u00f6\u00dfe der Nutzlasten regelt, die an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit verkauft werden.\n\nWir brauchen keine weitere Regulierung durch die WMF. Es wird nur einem florierenden Unternehmen schaden. Es gibt mehr als genug Informationen \u00fcber Nova und seine Produkte, die den Verbrauchern zur Verf\u00fcgung stehen, und wei\u00dft du was? Die Verbraucher lieben sie.\n\nFran Mirotic: Manchmal ist es nicht dasselbe, was die Menschen wollen und was gut f\u00fcr sie ist. Es besteht eine sehr deutliche Kluft zwischen der Wahrnehmung von Nova-Raketen in der \u00d6ffentlichkeit und der Realit\u00e4t von Nova-Raketen.\n\nLasst uns f\u00fcr eine Sekunde den Gang wechseln. Soweit ich wei\u00df, ist die Familie Castillo ein prominenter Akteur in der Gesch\u00e4ftswelt von Lo. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, ehrlich zu sein: Ich mag es, wie die Familie Castillo Gesch\u00e4fte macht. Sehr intelligente und kluge Bediener. Aber es gibt einige, in den dunkelsten Tiefen des Weltraums, die behaupten, dass eine Auszahlung, nicht ein Datum vor Gericht, das ist, was die Familie wirklich will.\n\nFran Mirotic: Es geht um Gerechtigkeit. Hier geht es um unternehmerische Verantwortung. Hier geht es darum, die \u00d6ffentlichkeit vor unn\u00f6tig gef\u00e4hrlichen Raketen zu sch\u00fctzen. Schlie\u00dflich geht es darum, das Universum wissen zu lassen, dass die Familie Castillo mich erm\u00e4chtigt hat, eine Sammelklage gegen Nova Pyrotechnica zu erheben. Wenn Sie einen geliebten Menschen durch Novas Fahrl\u00e4ssigkeit verloren haben, m\u00f6chten wir Ihre Geschichte h\u00f6ren.\n\nDas war Fran Mirotic. Sie ist die Anw\u00e4ltin der Familie Castillo, die Nova Pyrotechnica gerade wegen des Todes ihres Sohnes verklagt hat. Wir m\u00fcssen eine kurze Pause einlegen und unsere Rechnungen bezahlen. Wenn wir zur\u00fcckkommen, werde ich mit Alice Cole dar\u00fcber sprechen, wie sich diese Klage auf Novas Ergebnis auswirken k\u00f6nnte. Bleiben Sie also auf dem Laufenden und erfahren Sie mehr \u00fcber Kaizen.\n\nEND\u00dcBERTRAGUNG","zh_CN":"START TRANSMISSION\nAaron Schere here to welcome you to another installment of Kaizen, your guide through the jump point to financial solvency.
