How is Bill doing?

As those before him since the 2007 transition, is LLNL Director Bill Goldstein simply a stooge for the for-profit LLNS LLC contractor? What has being the LLNS "President" meant thus far to LLNL employees besides unjustified mass layoffs and systemic benefit reductions?

Even former LANS Director Charles F. McMillan admitted the for-profit LANS LLC would do whatever was in its own best interest. Got to give McMillan points on that one.

Democrats try to ban Donald Trump from using nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes after he asked officials why he shouldn't - and as RNC heads for Florida panhandle at height of hurricane season

?? We are going nuke hurricanes. Well at least that is a test.

Actually my understating that this was a prank created on 4chan that was picked up by Axios. It is odd how many online pranks by right wing trolls got picked by the news. Another one was Pepe the Frog and the Ok symbol being white power gestures. All these where made up on 4chan I even remember when they did this. The problem is that under the current climate you can say anything and it will be picked up. For example we could start a new one that people that wear blue jeans are actually doing so as a white supremacy dog whistle. Some evidence for this is that country music singers often wear jeans and we all know counrty music is racist. The world is starting to go nuts, maybe we are in giant simulation and the simulation broke.

Bill is an earnest guy trying hard to execute on the missions of the Lab and the management contract dictated by NNSA. I don’t see him being a stooge to work to those ends and try to treat the employees as well as HQ allows. A pure UC nonprofit contract would not have prevented the slide in benefits.

It would be great if it was 1985 again. I’d be 35 years younger and pounds lighter. The Lab was grand. It’s still a pretty sweet deal if you like technical work.

If LLNL has become anything like LANL, the technical work is insignificant compared with the exploding bureaucracy paperwork.

Our Director seems to be a good person and capable.
I do notice he walks that line with his SF Liberalism as he tripped out a little with the Trump travel ban awhile back and goes off once in awhile on Immigration.

I hope the Director (as I respect him greatly for being authentic)
doesn't confuse Legal and Illegal Immigration
as most Big Libs do as they try to confuse the percentage of not so smart voters
that seem to exist?

It did seem though that Trump got in his head a little bit of course a far away guess
on my part as like many I'm sure he wants a polite, Globalist POTUS.

"doesn't confuse Legal and Illegal Immigration "

Out of curiosity which group do thing is most effected by illegal immigration? It turns out to be the one that all the protests are about. You see the world is a tad bit more complex than "Orange man bad".
