From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use. touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...

The NNSA labs should not be doing this work. They should not be doing science. They need to do bombs and nothing else, no mission creep. Maybe we needed science in the cold war when innovation was needed but we are not in the era any more and have not been there for some time.
5:26 sounds like the fellow on 3/27/2020 @ 4:57 that disagreed with the idea of the NNSA super computers being used to address the virus. The claim that NNSA should not be involved sounds like a "Not My Job" attitude. Roll up the sleeves and get to work or step to the side and say thanks to let those that will work.

and you are the "bitter" guy. Can't post a thought without the word bitter. We all have to put up with your posts that are not about the topic but instead just a Prologue of why not to listen to someones opinion. It's old.

(1) That is just a distraction to take heat off Trump who is the one really responsible.
(2) It is certainly possible and would mean that China has some explaining to do. The reality is China is rather fast and loose with bio ethics in general. Don't be surprised if the when we find out that are making genetically modified people, bio weapons and so on. This stuff could be a real threat to the rest of the world and China is just the country to do this.
(3) Maybe it was just that a accident and nothing more. My understanding is that many labs look at modified strains of such viruses to get idea of where the next flu comes from.
(4) It is no accident someone let this loose maybe not the state of China but some worker ect.

Back in February it was the right wing sources, likely to deflect, but now its starting to come from the left wing sources. I'm starting to think there is more intel on this and its starting to leak out.
