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!

Everyone knows this is how the GRT is used, why is this a surprise? This is New Mexico after all land of corruption.

Right. That's what everyone in Washington thinks. Plus everyone in Russia and China. Plus everyone in academia who try to match LANL's data. Plus the military, who depend on LANL for NW issues and results. But keep on with your mindless drivel it is entertaining!
Those days are long long gone. It is about free money now and has been since 2005.
The lab most certainly does NOT exist "solely for the enrichment of the local community", that's a gross exaggeration. 93% of LANL's budget was spent on the same things post-2006 as pre-2006. Of the 7%, less than 1/3 of it made it into the local communities, that's about 2% of LANL's budget.
It's fair to argue that the 2% was wasted, and much of it was wasted, but don't try to turn a 2% issue into a 100% issue. This kind of gross exaggeration just makes you sound like a fool.

Nothing new. The "it's all about the money" guy has sounded like a fool from the start. Zero brain cells, and dollar signs instead of eyeballs. Yeah, just like the cartoon.
