Sorry, just my weird sense of humor kicking in. Seriously, when the United States appears to be the only world entity that is not grounding the 737 Max 8s, something does not smell right. It makes sense to ground them until a full investigation and cogent recommendations can be made.

A million bucks and a phone call are all it takes to keep unsafe aircraft in American skies. Other countries have revoked the ability of the MAX8 to fly in their airspace - but not the US! This country is so fucking corrupt.
