They seem to be rolling out the Red Carpet for scientists, while in the US most people with aspirations of doing science abandon it. Maybe it makes sense that we focus more on technology although over the long term that is a dangerous strategy as we will fall behind there as well.

The history of course, is that countries which lead in science eventually win, we saw that as many scientists left Germany and continental Europe prior to WWII, and the scientific achievements of the west allowed for a sort of victory in the cold war as well.

It certainly looks as if the US plus all closely allied countries (NATO, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc) far exceeds the scientific contributions of China, and will for some time, according to that article. It certainly is a bad trend I would think though.

Just remember, we've still got NIF and Pronouns.

This is doom and gloom mentality.
Despite our huge problems, we remain the tech leaders of the world. China follows copies, sometimes steals our technologies.
Why do they come here to study. What do they do after they study?

Our tech leaders are a problem. Have you seen Musk lately, this guy needs to be stoped.

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.

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...

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
