    They can't afford the contractors.

    Govt IT peeps are GS-12 and GS-13. Every govt contractor I know who does IT or programming makes way more than that. Some of the programmers I know who work for the govt make more than the SES does.

    And you know the insane thing about it is at least in my agency it doesnt matter. They will pay a boatload of money for a contract rather than just hire someone at a competitive salary. It's stupidity at it's finest.
    The agency I worked for was the same. Apparently before I got there, they had ordered all the WG employees working there to work as much overtime as they wanted, then they could show that contractors were cheaper, then replaced them all with contractors who were way more expensive in the long run. Also they had to hire someone (me) to watch the contractors.

    "unneeded prescriptions" is often a buzzword for some pretty dumb ideas about how medicine works

    not always though

    there's still a chance

    I'm probably going to get an F because this paper im turning in today is about how we need nuclear power, and details in lay terms how much safer gen 3 and 4 reactors are to reactors like fukushima, and even if there was a fukishma disaster every 2 years it wouldn't be anywhere close to the damage wrought by fossil fuels - disregarding global warming

    once you add global warming to the ledger the only hindrance is the cost of nuclear power

    I read something recently which claimed that, whatever its utility, nuclear power is not really a substitute for other renewables, on the grounds that new plants are extremely expensive and will take a really long time to get online. So, the claim was that even bracketing concerns about safety and waste storage there's not really any realistic scenario where nuclear power can take over in even the medium term, given that nuclear plant construction is a behemoth project that even when done to spec will involve massive capital outlays and most likely substantial cost and scheduling overruns.

    agree, i find it hard to believe there are too many doctors who are anti-vax

    It could also be a doctor who was willing to stretch out the government-approved vaccination schedule. It's pretty aggressive, mostly because a) vaccines are safe who cares and b) most people have bad insurance and don't want to go to the doctor, so they want to get as many vaccinations as possible in as few visits or they might not happen at all.

    But if you're not in that group of people who might just stop going to their pediatrician then doing them one at a time over more visits is fine .

    China seems pretty keen on throwing up a bunch of much smaller nuclear plants that take less time to build

    All of this is reasons why we should have started building many new plants a decade ago, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't start building more now
