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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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.

What on earth does Trump have to do with it?
Seeing that this is private company, I would guess Trump would order it to be shutdown, or tell his supporters to storm it, he could bribe it, grab it by...,
He could order it be given to Elon Musk who will use he fussion energy to mine BITCOIN and make a trillion dollars.
On the other hand Trump could support it, if the rename it
"Fusion for Fascists!", or you could convince Trump that he could use it invade Poland.
I think Trump broke the minds of way to many people. I do not blame Trump, I blame people who somehow still believed MSM. I simply do no get that,
you would figure after 9/11, Iraq war, Anthrax scares, Patriot act, they hate us for freedom propaganda, weapons of mass destruction, that most people would have figured out that your not getting accurate news on MSM. But no.
You don't think he has a few of them in the fossil fuel industry? They dont dream of an unlimited-energy machine, do they?
That's the relation to trump.

So reaching the goal of feeding energy into the grid, for fusion power, may again precede widescale adoption by many years.
