With all these cuts, and the uneven suffering between the three lab, something needs to be done to level the playing field. In particular, Sandia needs to give up projects and funding to LANL and LLNL then Sandia needs to be forced to push layoffs.

Sandia needs to give up ridiculous projects and the people who manage the following:

Sandia rid itself of almost 1000 employees 2 years ago by changing the pension calculation (and not for the better) and reducing retiree benefits for everyone remaining on role after December 2011. That was their "layoff"

Maybe Sandia has a side business of making meth secretly, with the chili cookoff work as a convenient cover. That's why they are not suffering financially. Illicit profits to keep people employed!

Sandia needs to be knocked off of its fiscal budgetary high horse simply because it is bad form to be happy amidst all the misery and suffering and poor morale at the other two labs. What kind of degenerates those Sandians must be for doing work as usual as if they are somehow better than everyone else. Show offs.

Aye, Comrade, from each according to their means, to each according to their needs. This is the way the government laboratories should be run. Sandia, the fat and happy capitalist s of the DOE complex should help their Comrades in Livermore who suffer from the evils of flawed physics and overhyped claims.

screw merit-based funding. national labs operate on a communist basis. failure must be rewarded to keep the everyone equal and based on the lowest common denominator. Oh wait, that's how the system actually works today and for the past several decades.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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

By scooby
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!
