What if elections are delayed?
So Trump is talking about delaying the election. Should the NNSA labs stop working in Nov if this is the case?

LLNL Retiree Settlement
Where are the actual details of how the LLNL Retiree Settlement will be implemented? This surely must be a public document currently available now or in the very near future. I want to see the formulas used to calculate the payments I and whoever else wants to see what they are eligible for. Trust but verify.
LLNL retirees currently receive $2450/year to draw from to cover the cost of medical premiums. That is not enough to fully cover Kaiser Senior Advantage premiums and there is a shortfall every November or December. Who knows how much a current vested UC retiree who worked on one of the UC campuses gets to draw against? Surely this number is greater than $2450/year. If current vested UC retirees receive much more than $2450/year how will this be addressed?

How many are working?
How many people are actually working at the NNSA labs during Covid? I know that some manufacturing people are still working and many others but a large amount are working from home, but the question is how many of these people at home are actually working? I have heard some estimates from managers and well I guess there is not much we can do about it.
