"Americans watch in horror as savings are WIPED OUT as Wall Street chaos sees trillions more dollars evaporate."

That was from a few days ago, try checking the market Monday morning.

Drop of 15% in a week. Maybe not wiped out but that is not good for retirement funds. Who knows how far this could drop 25% is now very feasible
especially if China and Europe just screw the US but I would not be surprised if it goes way lower. Bitcoin is down 27% Since Jan.

Not looking good. Also do I have to pay 25% for my next Ferrari?

That simply means the “worth” was inflated in the first place.

It's funny but my Physics degrees are paying off, and I have gained slightly rather than lost at least in US dollar terms. The US dollar has however, lost some value against other currencies, and many goods may now be more expensive.

It is unclear to me how the tariff situation will work out, but naturally there will always be unforeseen events and developments in the future, and these may turn out to be even more important for the markets. So it is important to not only focus on current events.

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!
