So what the hell does this have to do with LLNL or any of the NNSA labs????
Nothing...but we knew that. Keep this garbage off the blog
Some people just don't understand that whatever bad happens to LANL will eventually happen worse to LLNL. The federal employees that oversee LANL have had a big issue for years with how much the labbies make and how little the govvies make. When year after year los alamos county is in the top few in the nation in wealth, the govvies see that and look to level the field a bit, if you understand.
As a related issue, the wealth just highlights the overall selfish nature of much of the Los Alamos community. Look at the turnout to complain about the potential loss of the state tax revenue upon contract change. Looks like the county wants to eat the full cake, but not pay for any of the baking.

I am not saying you are wrong but it would be odd to get on Los Alamos cases because the county ranks so high. The county ranks so high become it is spatially very small and only includes the lab. If LANL happened to be in Santa Fe County or a Abq county than than that county would not be one of the top. It is more due to the geography of the LANL and the county than anything else. Is Livermore county in the top ten in the nation, the salaries at LLNL are the same as LANL which are pretty much the same as Sandia.

How does that work? I don't get the connection.
"Look at the turnout to complain about the potential loss of the state tax revenue upon contract change."
What turnout, most people that want the revenue are not LANL employees.
