Comment on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to lay off about 550 workers

I misremembered, but my point still stands; the decision for layoffs, this being the third round in 18 months, didn’t come from the government it came from JPLs management which isn’t NASA.

How? My point was that management decisions regarding JPL don’t come from NASA. Misremembering the institution doesn’t negate the point I was making.
