By the way Rick Perry is out.
Why do we need a staggering NNSA hiring? LANL has 10000 people right now and the job could be done better if we had 4000 people. There seems to be gobs of people that don't appear to do anything. They show up at 9AM leave at 3pm four days a week, with a half day every Weds. It is a very weird place.
Gee, if that's the case, wonder why the roads and gates are backed up for a 15 minute wait from 6:30-8:00 every day? Must be people just passing through.

The parking lots and half empty at 8AM and at 3PM. The roads are not backed up at 6:30AM every day either. The labs is 1/4 full every Friday.
4:43 lives in a weird little dream world. There is plenty of important National Security work to be done. Time will tell if the NNSA is up to the task or if they just want to play political posturing games.

I agree, however why should this be done at an NNSA lab. National security work is one thing, national security work related to nuclear weapons is another. There are many other places that do non-nuclear national security work better than the NNSA labs.
The problem at LANL is that most of the hiring has been outside of the nuclear weapons and national security work.

Hence the point of 4.43. They have hired lots of people at LANL but they don't do nuclear weapons work, they don't do national security work, they don't even do DOE science work, heck the don't even do technical work. The place is filled with people that push paper, they do outreach, human resources, business, data entry, New Mexico contracting, and so on. This portion of the lab just grows and grows. I though maybe things would change under TRIAD but as MacMillian said we are going to be hiring like 1500 people every year for the next 10 years or something.
I could understand if we are going to increase the pit production but maybe we should have a clear plan and some guarantee of this funding for the long term in this before we hire half of Northern New Mexico. This whole thing could go south if the budgets get pulled back. Also if Warren becomes president who knows what will happen. Never mind hire everyone you can and when something goes wrong the people who can leave will leave and the people that have no other choice will stay. How could this possibly go wrong?
The only constant in this equation is the slow demise of LANL.
