New Mexico jobs program
Geologist Terry Wallace and the New Mexico jobs program:
Unfortunately New Mexico has a lot of problems that make difficult to contribute to Los Alamos. I appreciate Terry's efforts but it is simply not a realistic expectation that LANL will hire mostly people from New Mexico or that that resources of New Mexico are necessary for LANL to do well.
New Mexico has a horrible eduction systems typically ranking 49-50th
New Mexico ranks near the bottom in yet another national report on educational achievement. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/education/new-mexico-ranked-th-in-national-education-report/article_f44b5730-26d1-544a-bab9-b375a984f6ae.html
Education Week’s Quality Counts released its annual state report card Thursday, and New Mexico earned a D. The state ranked 49th in the nation, ahead of Nevada and Mississippi. The report includes the District of Columbia.
Not to mention that New Mexico ranks horribly in economics, high skill labor, health, is considered the worse state to raise a family and so on. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/education/stuck-at-the-bottom-why-new-mexico-fails-to-thrive/article_78cc5744-5f73-576b-ad7f-60f704d0fbdc.html
What is more stunning is that over the last 30 years New Mexico is gotten worse not better in terms of rankings in most areas.
New Mexico: 49th in everything and proud of it, except where is our free handout today?? Education? Who needs it? You need to stay home to take care of your parents when they collapse from poor lifestyle at 50 years old. Then raise your kids in the same house so they can be uneducated too. English speaking at home? No! Why? Nobody in New Mexico needs to speak English. Besides, it might make you more able to get into college, which would be a disaster for your family that needs you to stay home and take care of them when they are old, and have lots of kids so they can do the same when it is their turn.
Here is a simple test for the true LANL capability to build pits: What is the maximum number of qualified pits that LANL has ever built in a 12 month period?

A better question would be how many WR pits has the NNSA ordered LANL to build over the past 12 months? The fundamental problem is that NNSA COUNTINUES TO UNDERFUND what is required. Furthermore, the management structure is inferior and lacks the discipline and resources and infrastructure to build WR.

This is bid odd. LANL should hire the best most qualified candidates for the job not just people from New Mexico or companies from New Mexico.

That's Terry, he never has let facts get in the way of a good emotional rant!
