NNSA labs have no problems, they just lure the best young feds out of NNSA with much higher pay than they'll ever get as feds. Meanwhile older retired contractors sometimes wind up in Washington as feds, too, so the doors keep on revolving in Forrestal.

Why on earth would anyone want more Feds?

Feds are a joke. Especially the ones in fur coats.

Precisely the non-cooperative attitude that has destroyed the labs. During the AEC days, and even the early ERDA and then DOE days, the attitude was "we are all in this together working for the same goal," even if plans and strategies differed. Now no one in the country wants to get along for any reason whatsoever, for any goal, no matter what. So now we all suck at being a country, and when the big one comes, we will lose, big, because we have lost the ability, and even the desire, to work together on anything. Suck it up, you assholes, if you continue this course, we will all go down together, as a demonstration of what happens when we refuse to work together. Wing-nuts all, you are assholes.

Partially right, but you failed to acknowlegde that it is yourself which has been the true problem all along. You see too many sucky dumb ass low life idiotic losers somehow got in their heads that they are great and brilliant people and when life Godsmacked their sorry asses they could not take it and then tried destroying the system. They say that that there is no truth, no right or wrong, no such thing as excellence, and that everyone is equal or should be equal, everything is unearned anyway so no one can be an expert or to be trusted. You and your kind seek to destroy all that is good or has value. The truth is no matter what the system is, people with your attitude are the ones that are guaranteed to go down, either you go down alone or you drag others with you but no matter what you are going down. Oddly enough it is the knowledge that you know that your are going down which has given you some power because now you are so bitter, twisted and evil that you have no reason to change and care not about the consequence of your actions. It is sad but history as shown how common it is.

Man you are really sick. I said nothing like that and until you attacked my post for no rational reason, you and I might have actually agreed, but no, you can't possibly agree with anyone since you are completely mentally insane. You are correct and everyone else, everywhere in the universe is wrong. I guess that you are the "shut up and do what you are told" guy who nevertheless rejects all forms of management. See any contradiction there?

Your insane rant just shows that someone just touched a nerve. Look we have heard from you enough over the many years to get what you are all about and I am guessing from your negative reaction you are also somewhat aware of what you are. I guess it is too late for you to ever change and your are a lost cause, however maybe you can at least try not to drag others down with you. Let it go, LANL, New Mexico, USA, world, solar system, Milky way, local group, galaxy cluster, mega galaxy cluster, universe, multiverse and so on are not the reason you have not lived up to what you thought you should be, that is on you and you alone.

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!
