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!

I guess these people never heard about working on multiple projects at the same time.
The entire theme of bringing our cost down so we can get WFO ( work for others) is a joke. There is no cost savings simple because the price to do business is just that, a defined cost per employee, just as the cost for a home can go no lower than the cost of materials, land and labor. Oh and for those who are hoping to buy more of a home for less in the future. Think again. As the mortgage interest rates approaches the projected 11% level as planned, the less house you will be able to afford for the same money leaving you with a huge payment for a house half the size you thought you were going to get.
Nothing is for nothing.
