Should the DOE/NNSA end the
LLNS contract to manage LLNL on or before 2030 in favor of a non-profit contractor? Less expensive, better employee morale, more of a science and engineering focus?
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...

If LLNS can play it's cards right, bribing the proper officials, why can't they retain the management contract virtually forever? It's not a merit based system, after all. I can see LLNS securing "One Big Beautiful Contract" that extends their operations well past 2030.
According to this by 2030 there may not even be humans.

Within Christian eschatology (the study of end times), many interpretations of biblical texts, particularly in books like Matthew and Revelation, describe a future period of intense global suffering. This era, often called the "Great Tribulation," is depicted as a time of unprecedented war, natural disasters, and societal collapse. From this theological viewpoint, the purpose of this intense hardship is not simply punitive but also redemptive. It is seen as a final, urgent call to humanity, designed to break through spiritual indifference and demonstrate the consequences of a world separated from God. The belief is that this period of profound crisis will serve as a catalyst, compelling many people to "repent"—to fundamentally reconsider their lives, turn away from sin, and seek reconciliation with God before a final judgment.
