Lockheed Martin joins others to run NNSA sites
..
The contract that consolidates the NNSA facilities could portend the fate of the Sandia National Laboratories’ contract. The NNSA, in a cost-cutting move, consolidated Y-12 and Pantex.
..
“NNSA is moving toward a smaller and less expensive enterprise,” the agency said in the RFI.

Guess who will be combined next? LLNL & LANL. Knapp is the vanguard for this move.

They are one in the same and that's why someday you'll see the two labs become one even if that means they have to shut one down and move all to NM where they're in the middle of nowhere, safe and away from homes.
What an amazing coincidence that all of the board members who sit on the board for LLNS (LLNL) are also the exact same board members who sit on the board for LANS (LANL). What are the odds?

According to public UC documents, each board member is also paid many tens of thousands of dollars each year for each board. Some kind of double dipping for the members.

Don't forget that the most recent congressional panel to look at the future of the NNSA labs has several of these same doubly compensated lab board members on it, one of them even as chairman of the panel. No way is that a conflict of interest.
If we had a best post of the year award I'd vote for this one.

Yeah, but only one at a time and it takes two weeks to set up each shot.

That image is wat too weird. Especially when it includes the tiny clown car running around under the lasers.
