It’s been fairly obvious for a while, PJ, that they don’t have a pipefitter on their “team”.

One of the scariest things in the world to a computer hardware guy is seeing a programmer with a screwdriver. I get a feeling that they have had geologists designing the “plumbing”.

As near as I can tell, they don’t actually have any full-time employees who really work with the equipment, Almost everyone on the rig was a contract employee hired for that job.

Outsource everything, turn your employees into migrant workers, trash institutional memory, “what have you done for me this quarter?’… you know what I’m talking about. It’s all a symptom of the exaltation of Finance uber alles. And this philosophy now seems to extend to our semi-privatized civil service and military as well, as we’ve seen after Katrina, in Iraq, and in a thousand smaller examples.

Look Ma, see how “efficient” we are now?
