Useful idiots? Not sure what that might mean, unless you see yourself as one...? Perhaps you could elaborate? I can understand that I am an idiot, but how does that make me useful?
But we can agree on the “sadly funny” bit.
And while grafty politicians love bloaty go nowhere construction projects, the sad reality is there is little commitment to fund the subsequent operation of science projects.
The international funding is there for the TMT. Are you suggesting “they” would build the TMT and then subsequently abandon it? Are you saying the TMT is “a bloaty go nowhere construction project”?
To my eyes the grafty politicians are turning a blind eye as far as support for the TMT goes. Not a single one has come out forcefully in favor of doing what is needed to get construction going. Why they don’t is just sad, and I can find no humor in it.
My telescope forced employees (up all night) to buy their own coffee...
I understand that coffee is a haole import, but I would like to join the other useful idiots in asking which telescope you work for and in what capacity.
TMT has made the situation worse for all telescopes, since they now all have to contract security.
TMT hasn’t caused increased security. Those who lack reasonable judgement in their opposition have.
Anyway that's enough for now....I will strive to be more thoughtful.
I sure hope you reply to the many responses from the useful idiots sometime soon, and, please, strive to be more thoughtful.
Cheers,
Kirt
