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!

Don't know much about government contracting, do we? If you did, you would be aware that some of the largest government contractors file numerous bid award protests with the GAO.

Per the last two sentences of Sec J Amd 1, the new SNL manager needs to claim it is ready to assume full responsibility for NNSS before it can also take over SNL.

Why protest? Do they recind contracts because of protests?

If you are the current contractor and the NNSA picks someone else to take over, then you get to keep on running the show until all the protests are over, and then 90 days after the last appeal is timed out. Not a bad proposition to keep paying all your high level managers their big salaries, even if they eventually will have to move out.

That occurred to me as well, more fee and continued high pay for people who will be sent packing eventually. Win, win, why not protest even if you have no basis for protesting and you know you will lose.
