Nicely put. You should add something from one of the old WWII submarine movies or Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea. Y'know, when the bad guys dropped a depth charge just a little too close.
After reading up on that pretentious twat, I say we need MORE of those subs so ALL the woketards can take that ride. I'm talkin assembly line 24/7 production and we can let bud light run the advertising department so all the leftists feel a NEED to climb aboard n get bolted in....
Just make the subs out of the stuff Bud uses for cans. No point in overbuilding, OR waiting for the structure to fatigue. Guaranteed first dive failure, always a good thing. In fact, if you did it right, you could save money by seaming on the top, no bolts. Faster.
It’s more than just accumulated knowledge of what to do and when to do it. It’s a mindset of mastering areas of responsibility, understanding system interaction and construction. That sort of approach simply isn’t done now. Engineers I’ve worked with expected to fully master their areas. Now, the focus is far shallower.
It’s not necessarily a generational thing, the older generation didn’t have the modeling and research resources available today. They had to dig in until they reached bottom. Today, things can be looked up as they happen. Still, replacing the experience exiting the workplace today is going to be painful.
There's a reason sub pressure hulls are designed and fabricated using high tensile strength steel designed and built by old white guys and the welds are xrayed for quality control.
50 plus boring white guys: work harder due to work ethics instilled when younger, the younger generation today knows squat about work ethics and that people is just part of whats wrong in the work force.
Same thing is happening everywhere and in every field. Many of us 50+ and even 45+ white guys are walking. The ESG crap is disgusting enough to drive guys from what they loved doing. It is going to be a rough ride.
People forget that you need a solid foundation and stability to support the inspirational. It is 99% of the time the guys in the background that are making it happen so there is an inspirational story.
In case of emergency break glass marked 50 year old white guys.
ReplyDeleteAs a 50+ year old white guy. I support that view.

ReplyDeleteShades of THe Marching Morons !
DeleteUs 50+ year old white guys can get that production line humming along nicely if needed. Give us a ring when you're ready.

Delete"It’s a mindset"
Fubgible units of (all) colors (and genders), built the chips. Wrote the software. And cashed the checks. That "replaced" the bestest generation.

ReplyDeleteHe wanted a sub designed and built by millennials. He got it.
