 The April 4 post in the Santa Fe New Mexican makes me fear for society.


The dumbest people in all of New Mexico are out in force. Greg Mello, Khal Spencer, Erich Kueshner, and Chris Mechels. It is the special Olympics of Northern New Mexico. Maybe this is some crescendo of stupidity like a moth into into flame.

Greg

"the technical people who work for LANL are not actually adding value to the local economy. They do not produce goods and services in the civilian economy from their day jobs"

Economics is not your strong point Greg, try some supply and demand curves at the Santa Fe community college.


Erich Kuerschner

“I'll never understand quotes like this.”
I’ll give it a go. You are not alone. There seems to be a widespread confusion between real wealth, "

Ok I take everything back about what I said about Greg Mello, he is litertially an economics Ph.D compared to Erich. I am not sure what to say about Erich but I am convinced if there is some hell for economists, it would have Erich the welcome guy. In some ways Erich is valuable, just take everything he says and invert it and you might have some idea how modern economics works.

Chris Mechels.

"I retired from LANL in 1994, Its a matter of ethics, and that's personal. I quit. "

Hmm, I thought there was RIF at LANL in 1994 in which the bottom of the barrel got fired or knew they would get fired? Mechels is, well Mechels and is how should we say, sometimes your role in life is to serve as example to others. Thousands of LANL people now know what can happen if it all goes wrong. I think they even have poster with Mechels on it as an inspiration of what not to be.

Khal Spencer

"In a nuclear armed world, I don't want to be in the only nation that can't build one. Build them until the world realizes there must be a better way to keep the peace than pointing nuclear weapons at each other."

I would like buy the world a coke and live in harmony. Was going to college a really good idea for everyone?

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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

By scooby
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!
