I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...

The NNSA labs should not be doing this work. They should not be doing science. They need to do bombs and nothing else, no mission creep. Maybe we needed science in the cold war when innovation was needed but we are not in the era any more and have not been there for some time.
5:26 sounds like the fellow on 3/27/2020 @ 4:57 that disagreed with the idea of the NNSA super computers being used to address the virus. The claim that NNSA should not be involved sounds like a "Not My Job" attitude. Roll up the sleeves and get to work or step to the side and say thanks to let those that will work.

and you are the "bitter" guy. Can't post a thought without the word bitter. We all have to put up with your posts that are not about the topic but instead just a Prologue of why not to listen to someones opinion. It's old.

(1) That is just a distraction to take heat off Trump who is the one really responsible.
(2) It is certainly possible and would mean that China has some explaining to do. The reality is China is rather fast and loose with bio ethics in general. Don't be surprised if the when we find out that are making genetically modified people, bio weapons and so on. This stuff could be a real threat to the rest of the world and China is just the country to do this.
(3) Maybe it was just that a accident and nothing more. My understanding is that many labs look at modified strains of such viruses to get idea of where the next flu comes from.
(4) It is no accident someone let this loose maybe not the state of China but some worker ect.

Back in February it was the right wing sources, likely to deflect, but now its starting to come from the left wing sources. I'm starting to think there is more intel on this and its starting to leak out.
