Oh yes. Please help me make my employees more efficient. I have to hire way too many people as it is. They're costing way too much and making it difficult to justify my 8 figure salary.

I wonder though, if you find you just can't remove all of the info about yourself that's out there on the net. Perhaps you could just dilute with nonsense. Prospective employers looking for you years from now will find that you kidnapped the Lindbergh baby, were the inventor of Slinky football, were a U.S. Congressman in 1979 who successfully passed legislation outlawing cat juggling, and you were the original drummer for the Banana Splits, before you became an astronaut on Apollo 22.

I respect Verne but also prefer Wells style.
In a sense the difference between the two is why Groundhog Day is a better movie than 12:01.

I'm an engineer myself. What concerns me is that both Boisjoly and McDonald were blackballed and their careers ruined. Moral to the story: If you can't afford to be the whistleblower, keep your trap shut. Sorry, but in a similar situation, I would only document my objections, and that I had submitted my recommendations and kept my mouth shut afterward. (Now I have to post anonymously).
The concept of tenure starts to make sense here. Appointing a few people, whose livelihoods are independent of their ability to speak their minds without regard to what powerful people think about it, could prevent the types of incidences that occurred with the Challenger and Columbia.

But don't beat yourself up. Apparently, I don't know the difference between 3 and 4.

So much is revealed in your short response.
1. You have unwarranted prejudices against unions and their members.
2. You have no respect for sanitation workers.
3. You have no respect for tradesmen, such as operating engineers, or stationary engineers, whose working knowledge often exceeds that of licensed PE's. (I know what I'm talking about here. I've been both.)
3. You seem unaware that licensed professional engineers work in a field called "sanitation engineering".
5. You don't know the difference between "then" and "than".

I used to do maintenance work in hotels as a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers. We called ourselves engineers. I would like for you to meet the members down at the union hall and explain to them why they are not engineers. That should be an interesting discussion to watch. They may have some knowledge of the history of that word that you weren't taught in college.
P.S. I'm not employed in that line of work anymore. I'm now a P.E.

So you're trying to equate the contempt we have for the wealthy with racism. Sorry, no sale. Wealthy people, white and otherwise, have largely earned the contempt we have for them.

My Plan for New Year's Eve is to get drunk and drive around yelling at people to get the hell out of the way.

Not True. The number of deaths from drunken driving has been steadily reducing for many years. What we've done about it has been very effective. We've treated it as if it were a crime.
How effective do you all suppose it would have been to have declared "WAR" on drunk driving? My guess is that we'd have spent our treasury dry and had to borrow money from China. Probably would have ruined our economy. Sure glad that didn't happen.
