This would argue to keep LANL non-profit so they will not have to pay the taxes. I guess the town has no problem with more people out of work if they can keep getting money.

But the economy is actually not slowing, GDP growth was 3% in Q2.

No the economy is slowing, UC will fail once again at running the labs, it is all connected AND YOU NEED TO SEE THAT! You are all crazy, UC is has failed and has always failed.

Don't waste your time trying to get August 30, 2017 at 1:50 PM to listen to actual facts. He's said many many time that all that matters is perception. If he perceives that the economy is slowing (and you rightly point out that it isn't) then that is a "fact" to him. If he perceives that UC "has failed" voila! It is so. And of course the direct connection between whether the economy is slowing and whether UC has failed should be obvious to everyone.

VSIP is needed at LANL. Half the professional jobs and most of the manager jobs are welfare at best. Since the 90s the NWC has lost 60% of the production site employees (SRS, OR, Hanford, etc.) but LANL keeps on chugging along, sheltered from reality.

Is that you Chris Michels? Why don't you go back to commenting on every issue in the New Mexican? Please.

I have some gold you can buy if you think the sky is falling/VSIP coming ! Maybe you should wait for Planet-X to throw Earth off it's orbit.

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!
