Its a stable design.

The force MCAS is correcting is a lightening of control forces near a stall. This is not allowed per FARs, so they added MCAS to force some extra force.

It will fly just fine with the computers turned off.

The max 8 doesn't have an inherently unstable design. This meme now only lives in the minds of the most ignorant out-of-the-loop individuals who wilfully consume FUD and ignore expert evidence.

If the airframe is truly unsafe, then it'll never fly again. But everyone knows it will. Because it isn't.

The only thing that'll happen is the max 8 will probably require a new type rating which will hurt airline economy a bit. Other than that, you'll be flying in it a year from now and have forgotten all about this.

It's a stable design. Barely so in some edge cases, but it is stable across the whole flight envelope.
