Why do you keep posting this stuff. Yes there are racists acts against asian americans, just as there has been before the virus. I don't think people reading this blog are part of the problem. What is your point?

We haven't "moved on" as a Country I believe is the point. It's a work in progress. Your point is all Lab employees on Lab Island, are free of racist tendencies so the FBI warning does not apply to us.

That's nonsense. This is a blog dedicated to a specific slice of a very narrow scientific community. Your attempt to paint us with your broad "racist" brush is insulting and demeaning to us, and reflects poorly on your own intelligence.

Look if you live anywhere near the Bay area it is very well known who is committing the violence against asians. It is not the lab demographic. As for the FBI, they have all the statistics that show exactly what is going on. Go look at them. Also as long as you keep saying acts of racism can only be committed by one group than you are right we have not moved on.

We all know this Progressive poster (with all respect),
as all his (her) roads lead to Trump.

We get it, you hate the Trumpinator.
I would say to you Trump won because he targeted the Midwest
as his opponent targeted the Popular vote in an Electoral Contest
and guess what, she won.
I totally understand as I hated Obama as he constantly talked down to me(us).

A word of not asked for advice to my friend,
Trump will be re-elected to his second term.
Maybe take up drinking.

Nope, the de-factor leader of the US right now is Cuomo. It is clear after Trump screwed up
with the covid-19 but Cuomo came in and delivered that they are going to dump Biden and the American people will embrace Cuomo who acts and talks like a president.

Unfortunately, all the good stuff is getting turned into hand sanitizer because the level of media-inspired panic is awe-inspiring.

Dude ! "All the good stuff" has been aging in casks for years! I suspect you would not know the difference between between hand sanitizer the stuff you apparently drink.

I apologize for the poor word choice. I should have written "high octane stuff."
The high octane stuff has a lot of other uses than the "good stuff."

No need to hit the liquor supply line folks. Since we should all be self isolating and therefore driving much less, just put the ethanol that would have been put in the gasoline we are not currently using into the hand sanitizers.

It's Not The Federal Government's Fault New York Doesn't Have More Ventilators,
It's Andrew Cuomo's

That is fake news. There is a reason that real clear politics, and the federalists are considered junk news sites. Not to mention that many of these are probably under Russain influence. In case you forgot the Mueller report is said that Russia is influencing news in America. If you look at the comment sections in these places it is obvious that is a Russian troll farm. All sorts of pro-Trump junk that no reasonable person would ever support.

In short your news sources cannot be trusted...end of story. All you have to do is watch one of Cuomos press conferences and you will see a true leader. After that you have to do is read what Trump said in his latest crazed press conferences. Again I refuse to watch these but I do read up on what he says and it is not pretty. Night and day. As for the the ventilators, if Trump had not said it was a hoax and took action the whole issues of ventilators would not have come up in the first place. Now some of you may be saying that others like the speaker of the House, or Biden should have been saying to take this seriously back than also but that is the job of the president. It is clear that if Putin had wanted Trump to act Trump would have acted. The whole thing may have backfired on Putin because like the Spanish inquisition he never expected Cuomo. Cuomo may not be Putins very worse enemy which was Sanders but he is close.

I think the last fake DNC item was Ukraine

Let's have another fake one soon, it is fun to watch.................

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!
