Russians keeping an eye.?

Is it possible that the Russians have been keeping on eye on what America has been doing to the national labs and seeing all the people fleeing the labs? What idea do think that might give them? Somehow utterly destroying the moral at the labs may not be seen as the best move.

Probably not as much of an eye as the US did when the Soviet Union collapsed, and former weapons lab scientists were driving taxis and prostituting their skills to the west. We threw money at them, but I don't see them throwing money here.

The US hasn't collapsed (yet). Besides, Russia does not need to worry that rogue states will hire US designers to build nuclear weapons. First, Russia has never feared rogue states; it simply subjugates them and points them towards the US. Second, there aren't any US designers that know how anymore.

Hands-on expertise and employee pride in work at the US weapon labs have largely been lost. There are some pockets of good scientific work left but it continues to shrink. It's been replaced by a cadre of overly bureaucratic and mediocre management types and workers afraid of losing their jobs and holding on to what's left.

No need for the Russians to fear much of anything. Lenin is quoted as once saying “the capitalists will someday sell us the rope with which we will hang them." Very prophetic.

I've read the quote, but fail to see the applicability here. We've hung ourselves with our own rope.

It is interesting that his topic was originally posted on the Ides of March at exactly 11:34am (which spells the word Hell on a digital clock)

It is interesting that the labs where sold to for money and greed.
Maybe capitalism does destroy itself in the end.

It is not being lost on other nations about how the US is now treating their very own scientists.

Oh please. Can you be any more melodramatic? Do you have no sense of self-embarrassment? What a crock of whining victimhood. Grow a pair.

Ignore the other troll that responded to you, he is just trying to waste your energy.

The biggest factor is not the US. The US is pouring money into the lab. The issue is the DOE and LLNL/LANL culture. There are many in the US civilian workforce that are treated well, work hard, and are loyal. The labs are the outliers on running a workforce effectively.

And it's only going to get better as the US relinquishes the Internet to the UN OWO Cartel members. Go to https://www.facebook.com/icannorg and enjoy the tranquil speeches of happiness coming from our countries adversaries mouth. There are two youtube presentations produced by ICANN at this location. We're screwed.

So IP addresses and domain names will be doled out by someone else, in a manner still to be determined. What's the big deal? This move has been planned for many years. Now that it's happening, some people (who apparently just woke up) are in breathless horror about it. Get a grip.

It is ridiculous to state that Obama and Putin are both Marxist dictators.

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!
