Good reason. Prevents poor employees from making up false claims. How many of the whistleblowers are really justified in their claims ? Tell me.

Love the competent arguing. Not a shred of evidence or facts. Maybe this is Rick Perry.

You will never know unless you decide to find out (i.e., investigate).

Yep. Most important job in the complex. Rat. Not workers, not assurances, not oversight, but rat. Sympathy for the song bird.

Could you please make some sense?

He makes perfect sense. He'd like to be absolutely free to do whatever he likes, skirt any rule or regulation, make some money on the side, maybe sexually molest a coworker or two, without fear of consequence. If you've worked at the labs, you know they are full of people like that, many in upper management, held in check only by their fear of those who insist they play by the rules, and intend to see it so. Unfortunately for the rest of us, some have failed (yet) to develop that fear.

More FUD spread by the left fake news agencies. Bring some facts to the table and then we can talk. Until then, take your liberal rhetoric and stuff it.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
