Is there some point to this all? We are suppose to ensure the stockpile which was relevant in the 60s and 70s. The cold war is over and we are all about to "die" ok maybe not but be shut down by Covid19. Has everything we have done been for nothing? I can understand some boomers saying " I protected freedom" but can anyone from that past 25 years say that...I think not. Maybe our talents should have been used elsewhere where it could have made a difference. We spent all this money on bombs to kill an enemy that no longer existed now in the end when we could have used that money to fight viruses we wasted it. We are all to blame.

Building bombs for the good of the nation
It's my job, can't you see?
Massive plutonium radiation
They're gonna rock and destroy
Made from the finest of alloys
They're gonna fly under the radar
Six feet over the russian horizon
Making the bombs!

I install electronic components
The little chips that know where home is
I'm getting a thrill going through my section
When I give them my final inspection
I like the kind that save the buildings
Why take it out on pillars of stone?
You gotta kill, you gotta maim
The real estate is not to blame

To keep a lid on the population
We'll drop bombs on selected nations
We've got a big one in current production
We'll teach those slime buckets about reproduction

That the Circle Jerks, I remember them from my Pasadena days back in 80s.
I viewed my employment at the lab in that context and I never regretted nor questioned my contribution to keeping the world a bit safer.

50% chance the first case at Sandia or Los Alamos will come next week. Too many people traveling. Also it is going to be fun at LANL this summer with 1200 students they expect . Also during group meetings the mangers are getting questions like "if my wife is sick I can still come in right?", some of the younger employees think this no big deal and it is "just the flu bro", so yes this is going hit pretty hard.

Nope! We built the bombs and built the town. We're stayin'. Y'all are SOL for a place to live up here.

You don't know much about Los Alamos. You meant two bedroom quads and duplexes worth $150k.

Los Alamos is filled thousands of multi-million houses, gates communities, gardens, guest houses, fancy cars. All this while living in the most poor state in the union. Just read about this by the Los Alamos study group. In fact many think that the poverty in New Mexico is due to the Los Alamos.
ANother delusional soul. There are no gated communities or fancy cars-just your small to mid sized SUVS driving around. DOn't see very many Mercedes, Beemers or Porsche. NO multi-million homes. I see more wealth in Santa Fe but that's just me.
