LANL rumors

Some rumors: LANL has settled a case brought by the people who got put on unpaid leave for not getting the vaccine. These people have gotten paid out and are now back working at the lab again. I also have some other perks, but I do have the details. This whole thing was a complete disaster for LANL. From what I know, LANL was the only lab in the DOE complex that did this.

New Boeing whistleblower comes forward

  New Boeing whistleblower comes forward hoursbefore CEO’s Senate testimony “Blumenthal expressed concern with what he described as “a culture that enables retaliation against those who do not submit to the bottom line” ahead of the hearing. “This is a culture that continues to prioritize profits, push limits, and disregard its workers.  A culture where those who speak up are silenced and sidelined while blame is pushed down to the factory floor,” Blumenthal in a statement.” https://thehill.com/business/4727085-boeing-whistleblower-jim-calhoun-senate-testimony/?nxs-test=mobile

A US civil war?

  https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/06/11/canada-us-civil-war-00162521 I know that every time a bring this up, other posters just laugh or say it is crazy. The point ins Civil war in the US is a real possibility, numerous professors have brought this up. However now some reports have come out that Canada is thinking about options if the US descends into civil war. I know it seems crazy but if Trump wins I do thinking people are going to accept that. If Trump loses and it is close some people are not going to accept that. The question is what are the labs going to do? We could be in a real bind about who the legitimate authority is.

Eight people with ties to ISIS...

  “8 people with alleged ties to ISIS arrested in multiple U.S. cities” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=006aiQFZmg8&pp=ygUQdGVycm9yIHVzIG1leGljbw%3D%3D A story that is not inherently politically red or blue, but surely a USA concern.

Mobilize to fight anti-democracy

  With the upcoming election it is time to mobilize the the labs to fight the ant-democratic forces. This link is great example of what the labs should doing to join the fight. This is network analysis that shows the nodes and links to groups that are against Ukrainian funding. It shows how they are interconnected. I think a similar but more advanced approach could be used to look at many other connections. This is the most relevant election in the history of the US. Are we going to be on the right or wrong side of history! https://texty.org.ua/projects/112617/roller-coaster/

Elon Musk visits LANL

  https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/a-lot-of-science-elon-musk-takes-private-tour-of-los-alamos-national-laboratory/article_d0de8bde-1940-11ef-b318-e7aeab106940.html Maybe Tesla wants to move in pit manufacturing? Or does Musk want to acquire LANL? You laugh but in the future it could that nations states are no longer relevant only powerful companies and the company that has weapons of mass destruction could have a big advantage over the competition.
