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.

    but my point still stands;

    yeah, i don’t think it does.

      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.

        of course it does. nasa pays the bills and they are the ones who say “we will hire or fire people, because we do or do not have money”. management from caltech says “ok, these are the people who have expertise we need”.

        you don’t think they are giving money to someone and that someone does whatever they want with these money, do you?
