Watch the movie Chernobyl. You will see where this will end if it keeps going. Whether all the white males who actually know what they are doing quit, or are fired by PC, the incompetent but oh so politically correct replacements will take over, and then you have the makings of Chernobyl type thinking in any business, any industry.
PC, loyalty to the Party is what is important, scientific truth, real life application principles, are not important.

It was during the 1990’s that I noticed people preferred being lied to about project cost / time. Didn’t matter that it always proved to cost more and take longer. They always went for the “cheap and quick” lie.
You are correct. This can balloon into something extraordinarily dangerous. Like with ATC, and even more dangerous things like you mentioned.
I remember being floored in 1986 that anyone could even possibly think that doing a “Chernobyl test” would not turn out exactly as it turned out. It was beyond obvious. Even with a layman’s understanding of coolant/moderators against such a force.
The same happened at PdVSA in Venezuela. All of the competent workers were fired since their political loyalties were questioned. Only the incompetent remained, who were really really good at party slogans. It was not long until the refineries were broken. Now Venezuela has to import gasoline.
