I am awaiting someone to do a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon on this one to tie it back to the National Labs.

A topic on this blog need not always be about LLNL science. If a topic like retiree COLAs, benefits, local cost of living, and yes, LLNL employee and LLNL retiree home property values are all germane topics as well. One’s net worth which includes their home value , can have a material impact to one’s retirement decisions.

Your Kevin Bacon comment is funny! Enjoy your day.

Azul points out, some insurance companies that back or insure insurance companies that we pay home insurance premiums to, are withdrawing from the market.

You are a year or two behind the times. Several insurance companies have gone bankrupt in Florida and a few have pulled out of the state. There are scams going on where a company is created and they collect the first payments, then go bankrupt when they have to pay up. Some companies, I think Allstate is one, have pulled out of California. I had to get a new car insurance company because California Casualty made a "business decision" to pull out of New Mexico. People in Florida are backing out of house purchases because they cannot afford the insurance, including the flood insurance.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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.

Rumor corner

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.
