Tom D moves to Fluor
Should be exciting to watch the impact of this move on contracts, both short and long term.

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...

Just another sign of the rampant cronyism within our military industrial complex.

Sounds like another sign of a bitter loser who could not get a manager job. Look the world is made up of Lions or Gazelles. You cannot blame the Lions for being Lions and you have have to accept the fact that you are a Gazelle if you are a Gazelle. We all know the game, we are all in it to win it and be managers, but the reality is there are only so many people that are good enough to be managers. We all accepted this when we joined in so don't complain when someone does good. We remember only the Generals not the foot soldiers and so it is with everything in life. You would do the same if you won but you did not so get over it.

If you work at LLNL than by definition you are a manager or you are other. That is the reality of the place now. The managers are told this over and over.
I rage on here to retaliate, to injure, those who deliberately destroyed the labs, destroyed morale and injured me and my colleagues and placed nation's long term security at higher risk.
Incompetent egotistical bureaucrats destroyed pensions, destroyed the labs and are on their way to destroying the medical services marketplace. These fools have been more successful in undermining the USA than Stalin.
