Mental Health

So if it's a publicly traded company who is actually at fault in the UHC debacle?

Of course the real answer is that we all are, for looking the other way as profits trump (no political inflection intended) care for our fellow human beings. That said, it's very difficult for me (and apparently the ENTIRE internet) to find any tears for someone who signed on to be at the tip of the spear for what he must have known (at last on some level) to be at the very least standing idly by as people died in pain and misery in pursuit of shareholder value.

We all know this system is F'd. It doesn't sit right with anyone I know, whatever their politics or investments.

He didn't actually ban acronyms at SpaceX. They are only allowed if he approves them. And they have a lot of them.

Non-sequitur but Bolt Electrical employs your shorter doppelgänger. I kept wanting to call the poor guy your name.

The FAA needs to change and they need to change NOW. Pilots are dying because of their draconian attitude to mental health and “safety.” Enough is enough.
