I said that isn't it odd that Silicon Valley and all the high tech activities and research was located along the San Andreas Fault. Aren't we taking chances? What will happen if we suddenly lose the people and research/manufacturing capacity when an earthquake hits, as it surely will one of these days or years. He said Yes, he thinks about it too. But you know the enormous investments are still there and the San Andreas Fault is still there and after it happens everyone will say: Why didn't we do something about it. Human nature and denial is the X factor in all of this. arthur -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Gurstein Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 8:30 AM To: 'RE-DESIGNING WORK, INCOME DISTRIBUTION, EDUCATION'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Question: This might work for the folks in Japan, but what about for GE the designers/builders of the reactors?
