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?

LLNS will be gone for sure. A better question is will LLNL be gone or will the United States be gone.
Prediction is hard, especially about the future. We don't even know if Trump will be gone from the White House in 2030, or serving a third term.
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.
If the DJIA gets to a million in 2029, only for all of humanity to be exterminated the following year, it will still have been worth it. At least I will have been rich on paper for year, so count me in!
Why would NNSA admit that they made a mistake going to a for-profit model? To save money? It's not their money and unless a DOGE guideline came down from above, there is no incentive to go back to the non-profit model. Indeed the state probably prefers this model with the taxable income of the for-profit model. Why would anyone think the employee morale would improve - will a better retirement and medical coverage come into play - which would counter the save money issue. Does NNSA care about science or just paper shuffling and the opportunity to get their picture taken when something good happens at a national lab? The genie has been let out of the bottle and the bottle was sold as scrap metal.
11:04 Actually, it could be a period of intense suffering over the next few years, if these truly are the end times. The chatbot gave the following rationale for that. Essentially if this Christian belief is true, (which many Americans believe) the Lord in his great mercy will provide intense suffering so that people can "repent" and thereby avoid even more suffering after the final judgement.
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.

According to this by 2030 there may not even be humans.

The Dow Jones gets to a million by 2029 and AI kills everyone in 2030.
