NNSA has always considered WFO to be a major headache, and has resented that other agencies get a free ride on facility and infrastructure costs. Plus, LDRD has always been a corrupt boondoggle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-10220301598027926722016-02-28T13:02:48.454-08:002016-02-28T13:02:48.454-08:00Well many people at LANL work on other things besi...Well many people at LANL work on other things besides nuclear weapons.

Try to keep your relative unimportance to the country as a whole in perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-17713574461319035542016-02-26T13:27:02.877-08:002016-02-26T13:27:02.877-08:00Yes well if we want the Labs to go back to a not-f...Yes well if we want the Labs to go back to a not-for-profit model that is better for the country, we are going to have to press our leaders to do what is right for the country. Ask candidates and elected officials to support a not-for-profit model and then vote for those who do. Unless we push them they will be pushing our representatives in D.C. to stick with this disastrous for-profit model. Most people find it inconceivable when they are told that the Nation's nuclear stock pile is run for-profit. So OK don't be surprised but also don't be surprised if another for-profit llc is forced on the Labs' to the detriment of science, the workforce, and the country. A few people will again get much richer not keeping us safer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-48277367890354342572016-02-24T22:13:31.991-08:002016-02-24T22:13:31.991-08:00No surprise.No surprise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
