What Would Oppy Do?

He'd do like most of the smart, marketable types at LANL have already done: leave for a much healthier, happier work environment.
Go sailing in the Virgin Islands perhaps?
Oppenheimer would have been fired by Nanos as someone who "does not get it".
He would do what he did when McCarthy tried to discredit him. He would stand up to them even though it would turn out badly.
Oppy would say to fire everyone but the best 300 people and start over.
Not a bad plan (Fire all but the top 300 and start over).
I'd start firing from the top and as I got toward the bottom, I'd be making phone calls and writing letters of recommendation to get these good folks another job.
I'd also help find a decent replacement for our current crop of so-called politicians. I've seen a lot in my lifetime (and death) but this crowd takes the cake. Democrats taking a close second to the Republicans.
We left the world in worse shape than we found it and you are heading down the same path.
Time to back up and rethink a *lot*. This is not just about "bigger sticks" or even "cheaper energy". You at LANL (and LLNL and SNL and ORNL and LBL and XXxL and academia and ...) are extremely intelligent and well educated.
DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE! I don't mean pave the planet faster, I don't mean build a better doomsday weapon (I *did* that and see how wonderful it has turned out?).
