Cuomo

 Cuomo: Hiding in plane sight while claiming to be a champion of the MeToo movement?


What does it say for the national respect and understanding of the MeToo movement when 11 women (so far) said Governor Cuomo
inappropriately touched or groped them? Will Cuomo’s staff accused of aiding and abetting such behavior by covering up, discrediting, or destroying the careers of these courageous women be held accountable too?

What it says is:

This is not BNL - The True Story or Omega - The True Story.

Philandering politician with double standards coddled by fellow elites until his behavior becomes a political threat.

Not surprising.

Also completely unrelated to this blog. Scooby should have pruned you.

Hmm. We have never had sexual misconduct and related cover ups at LLNL? Are you a newbie?

I agree it is a bit far from the labs but does say something about the political environment we are living in. I find it odd that just a year ago Coumo was being celebrated by every MSM source, given an emmy and stated as the true leader of the US not Trump. NYC was touted as the ideal of how to deal with the pandemic. The stories about about people with Covid being put into nursing homes and even improper interactions with female staff where called fake news by the MSM. I guess too many people came forward for this to be buried. I still do no understand how people can watch CNN, read Huffington post or the NYT and believe this is actual news. They simply have no journalistic standards at all. These same people slam Fox as fake news yet seem to have no problem with their news sources.

To bring this back to the labs, anyone who is familiar with the labs and has seen news stories about them over the last 25 years can attest to how often they are completely wrong. The NYT had to add corrections to some of their stories about LANL back 2000, but those corrections are forgotten. You have to ask yourself this, if the MSM often gets the facts wrong about the LLNL/LANL how often do you think they get things wrong about everything else. I have been a news junkie for some time, I remember the old NYT, the old guard on the TV networks, and so on. Todays "news" is more like propaganda than news. In the old days if someone said there was a story in the NYT, or Time magazine, you could have reasonable confidence the reporter was attempting to tell the truth or that there was some standard of truth. Today if someone says "they read in the NYT" you simply cannot take seriously or trust it. You have no idea what you are getting.

Why so sensitive to this subject? “Pruning” people is precisely why predators like Cuomo get away with this sh_t for so long. Are you a supporter or defender of acts of sexual abuse? Please think your thoughts through before you comment.

I live (very) near to NY, so I care about this a bit. Why it belongs on a LLNL blog I can't fathom. Scooby has become far too woke, for someone his age.

"Security Clearance Adjudicative Guideline/Guideline D: Sexual Behavior

Sexual behavior is rarely used for a clearance denial or revocation. When it is, it typically relates to criminal sexual behavior or an extramarital affair. Even an extramarital affair is not likely to result in a clearance denial. But if you haven’t disclosed that indiscretion and would go to great lengths to hide it, the risk for a foreign government is a consideration."

Worked 29 years for UC (under AEC, ERDA, DOE, NNSA) and one horrible year for LANS. Too many posters here try to make this their soapbox for their new woke pet peeve, no connection to the nuclear labs needed. Scooby lets it slide, for reasons that escape me.

If anyone cares about the top post, Cuomo has resigned.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
