Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

[Higgenbotham]

Even as job seekers fret about artificial intelligence and tech behemoths announce massive layoffs, Matt Walsh is finding it surprisingly hard to help technology companies hire certain kinds of workers.

That’s what Walsh’s recruiting firm, Blue Signal, does. And in specialties including semiconductor production, “the unemployment rate is probably negative 20 percent,” the CEO of the Phoenix-based search company said. “It’s ridiculous. There just aren’t enough people.”

This stuff is just silly. They've been lying about tech worker shortages for close to 50 years.

You won't see any tech company offer a promising high school graduate a job if the tech company pays for their college education and they successfully complete it. And you won't see any tech company offer to train a promising college graduate who is not in the exact field they are looking for but can obviously do the work.

This article appeared in the Washington Post. Bezos owns it.

So let me spell it out step by step, very slowly.

1. America is the richest country in the world.
2. America has a very high wealth gap.
3. Due to factors 1. and 2., there are a lot of very, very rich people in America.
4. The very, very rich people in America, by and large, want to keep it that way.
5. Rich people generally spend almost all of their time working or thinking about money and that's one reason why they are rich.
6. When a person spends all of his time working or thinking about money, that experience influences his view of the world.
7. For such a person, when any given topic comes up, how to make some money automatically enters front and center into the thought process.
8. For any given topic, some of the ways money can be made are buying political influence and influencing public opinion.
9. To influence public opinion, you can, for example, play to the media or buy a newspaper (The Washington Post, for example).
10. If you are going to buy media influence it helps to get it cheap because it buys more influence.
11. Very rich people understand that the average person is not as interested in money as they are.
12. The rich use things that the average person does care about to influence their opinions.
13. There are many ways the rich influence opinions to make money on any given issue and they will figure out how to do that before others do.
14. The average person may not understand how and why the rich influence their opinions because the average person doesn't think that way.
15. Added in anticipation - no, this is not a conspiracy theory.

Below is a list of the principal Manhattan Project scientists and corroboration of the fact that not a single one of them was ever a direct employee of a high tech company.

Tech companies like to tell you they hire the creme de la creme, the best and brightest, etc. But when the ultimate test came which decided who was going to prevail in World War II the tech companies had nothing to offer.

Will they have anything to offer in solving the present day crises?

Did J. Robert Oppenheimer, Edward Teller, Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi, Ernest Orlando Lawrence, Otto Frisch, Niels Bohr, Felix Bloch, James Franck, Emilio Segrè, Klaus Fuchs, Hans Bethe, or John Von Neumann ever work as direct employees (not consultants) for any technology company?

No, none of them.

When strictly excluding external advisory roles, board seats, patent licensing agreements, and independent consulting contracts, not a single scientist on this list was ever hired as a regular, direct employee for a private technology or engineering company.

Every individual on this list spent their formal payroll careers strictly within four institutional categories:

Universities and Academic Academies (e.g., Princeton, Chicago, Berkeley, Columbia, Copenhagen, Stanford).

Government Agencies and Public Commissions (e.g., the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the National Defense Research Committee).

Publicly Funded or State-Run Laboratories (e.g., Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Lawrence Berkeley, CERN, or the Central Institute for Nuclear Research in East Germany).

Foreign State Service (e.g., military service or national government research mandates).

Clarifications on Close Associations

While many of these men had deep ties to corporate entities, those relationships strictly disqualified them as "direct employees":

Leo Szilard: He famously partnered with Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) to develop the Einstein-Szilard refrigerator. However, he was never on AEG's internal corporate staff or employment rolls; he was an independent inventor who sold patents and maintained a contract-based advisory relationship.

John von Neumann & Hans Bethe: Both men made fortunes in corporate tech. Von Neumann was a crucial architect of IBM's early computing strategy, and Bethe spent decades solving advanced solid-state problems for the General Electric Research Laboratory. However, both intentionally structured their corporate ties as elite, independent retainer-based consultants to protect their primary, full-time employment status as tenured academic professors (at the Institute for Advanced Study and Cornell University, respectively).

Edward Teller: He spent his entire career on the payroll of the University of California system (which managed the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos laboratories) and various defense advisory boards. His extensive corporate work with companies like Sandia Corporation, Ford, and aerospace manufacturers was entirely restricted to consulting panels and advisory boards.

Identity baseline whiplash phase.
Leftist cannot see the first prison.
The Leftist that do are already dead inside.
Notice the match throwers ignored. Classical Annihilation enablers.
That is actually ignored since they made a choice to be given over.

It was said we had the same grades as those fellows, but I was not in the same class.
We did there Homework in Study Hour as they did not think we did it anyways.
So She quit as My Wife did since the workers are few.
