Are Trump and Musk even considering how draconian cuts to NOAA will affect those living in bad weather areas or industries that depend on it's data?

People who depend on NOAA? Oh you mean like farmers? The rural idiots just screwed themselves again.

And we no longer need weather forecasts. We have a genius new president with a magic black Sharpie. The weather will go wherever he draws the lines.

Florida and the entire "Gulf Of America" coast is a write off anyway. Why even bother to warn them? It won't change the outcome. Let them buy life jackets and take swimming lessons.

I mean no one at FEMA will be there to answer the phones.

Here's the reality: People have, are & will continue to die under MAGA rule. No way to sugarcoat that but it's all worth it for another 1% & corporate tax break im told... 😉

Dude they cut kids cancer funding, why would they care about people and the weather

[RedInnocent69]

No, they’re thinking about how to make money for themselves. Musk does own a lot of the satellites. It’s corrupt, grift. Draining the swamp is such a fucking joke, Trump’s been the worst

And there's currently a really bad system moving through the heart of trump country, the middle of the country

Doubt it. Thinking whom can start a business and charge for that data seevice, tax revenue, lowering go t cost and getting budget in line.

They can watch the weather reports on TV like the rest of us do.

[Asker]

Where do you think those reports come from?

They are numbers not people or families.
He's too worried about transgender mice (a mistake he made. Idiot)

Their plan seems to be, gut it and then find out if it was actually necessary.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Are you considering that you are a tool of the bureaucracy

[katiesmuff]

They are to stupid to care!

It probably should only be a power that is reserved for the states. That's the reasoning for a lot of these cuts.

[DrPepper12]

Yeah cuz weather systems respect state boundaries... JFC. How do you feed n dress yourself?

@DrPepper12 Those who live in disaster areas would get help far sooner if the help is closer.

[DrPepper12]

ON STANDBY? Yeah standing govt personnel & resources are real cheap - ask the military. Unreal!!! 😂😂😂😂

[Opinion Owner]

@DrPepper12 Yeah they charge thousands of dollars for a single hammer. That's one of the biggest reasons why letting the government own the means of production is a huge mistake.

Fuck em.

Ahhh... WWJD indeed!
