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.

This is not BNL - The True Story or Omega - The True Story.
Philandering politician with double standards coddled by fellow elites until his behavior becomes a political threat.
Not surprising.
Also completely unrelated to this blog. Scooby should have pruned you.
Hmm. We have never had sexual misconduct and related cover ups at LLNL? Are you a newbie?
I agree it is a bit far from the labs but does say something about the political environment we are living in. I find it odd that just a year ago Coumo was being celebrated by every MSM source, given an emmy and stated as the true leader of the US not Trump. NYC was touted as the ideal of how to deal with the pandemic. The stories about about people with Covid being put into nursing homes and even improper interactions with female staff where called fake news by the MSM. I guess too many people came forward for this to be buried. I still do no understand how people can watch CNN, read Huffington post or the NYT and believe this is actual news. They simply have no journalistic standards at all. These same people slam Fox as fake news yet seem to have no problem with their news sources.
To bring this back to the labs, anyone who is familiar with the labs and has seen news stories about them over the last 25 years can attest to how often they are completely wrong. The NYT had to add corrections to some of their stories about LANL back 2000, but those corrections are forgotten. You have to ask yourself this, if the MSM often gets the facts wrong about the LLNL/LANL how often do you think they get things wrong about everything else. I have been a news junkie for some time, I remember the old NYT, the old guard on the TV networks, and so on. Todays "news" is more like propaganda than news. In the old days if someone said there was a story in the NYT, or Time magazine, you could have reasonable confidence the reporter was attempting to tell the truth or that there was some standard of truth. Today if someone says "they read in the NYT" you simply cannot take seriously or trust it. You have no idea what you are getting.
Why so sensitive to this subject? “Pruning” people is precisely why predators like Cuomo get away with this sh_t for so long. Are you a supporter or defender of acts of sexual abuse? Please think your thoughts through before you comment.
So this is only an East coast thing? Why are monitoring a West Coast blog? Get real troll.
Sexual behavior is rarely used for a clearance denial or revocation. When it is, it typically relates to criminal sexual behavior or an extramarital affair. Even an extramarital affair is not likely to result in a clearance denial. But if you haven’t disclosed that indiscretion and would go to great lengths to hide it, the risk for a foreign government is a consideration."

Worked 29 years for UC (under AEC, ERDA, DOE, NNSA) and one horrible year for LANS. Too many posters here try to make this their soapbox for their new woke pet peeve, no connection to the nuclear labs needed. Scooby lets it slide, for reasons that escape me.
Only one year lucky person.
