. But hey, you believed it.

Where did I say I believed it? Learn to read, you ignoramus.

They have the power of "charity" to give what they don't have to build a city of gold in Rome.

Catholicism is Roman paganism dressed in Christian robes. Scratch that, the robes are actually Egyptian.
Modern Christians have more in common with Kipling's If Poem than with the teachings of Jesus. Occasionally one or two of them learn something about compassion from reading the bible, but they are quickly silenced.

Comment Time to build high-temperature designs (Score 1) 50

Raising the operating temperature of reactors by using molten salt as a coolant would be a big advantage, even with the current overall design. It would permit dry air to be used as the heat sink. Reactors could be installed in desert and on military bases far from NIMBYs and their lawyers.

We have three years to get this started. When the Democrats come back we will be able to use modern healthcare tech again, but our clean energy options will shrink back to EU levels.

Comment Re:14k is a lot of dead meat in corporate layers.. (Score 1) 50

Apparently they have 350,000 workers in corporate, so firing 14k is about 4% of their total employees. Not a huge cut.

Things ran great for most part, management just wouldn't fire the slackers ! Brought in 5 supervisors aka "babysitters" who knew nothing about running the job.

If you are a manager, and hire five managers below you, then it increases your importance. The optimal strategy is to hire as many people as you can. If they are useless, that is a bonus (because then you have to hire more people to get the job done).
