Are Boeing planes really that much more dangerous than Airbus ones?
This is a nice document. Analogies in software operations world!
This sounds complex, but possibly quite worthwhile.
You don’t need to speculate about what could happen, you have statistics about what did happen. Yes, they are. Not by much in absolute terms (thank goodness) but in relative terms, significantly.
You must be comparing two specific airframes.
It wasn't the sensors doing that, it was pilots misunderstanding what the frozen sensors are telling them, and what the plane is telling them. That's why the UX has been improved on that, and there's even an estimated airspeed via GPS now to give some indication to the pilots with the best available information.
Overall, I think this is a false equivalence and bad form of whataboutism. Boeing are caught, again, with shoddy manufacturing and design practices, and people harp on "But Airbus aren't better!". Even if they weren't, and they are better, why does it matter? Boeing have issues, those need to be fixed. If Airbus had issues, those have to be fixed too. And Airbus have been working on theirs (like the A350 paint problems or the UX that could be improved when sensors are out) which are, again, much less critical than Boeing's planes flying themselves into the ground or with parts flying off.
FAA should today randomly pick new Beoings and do a full inspection and not wait for incidents to happen in USA and posted on internet before pretending to care.
With the attention span of last few weeks it is indeed the case.
Besides the serious one you recounted. I find this [1] funny:

The issues mentioned here about Airbus are manageable, they're not unforeseen parts falling off the plane suddenly.
The 737NG is the safest airliner ever produced. Boeing is having a rough patch, but anyone counting them out is foolish. They've had rough patches before.
And aviation, especially in the U.S., is very much tied to politics, which cares not as much about what might happen, but what did.
