A couple of weeks ago I predicted that they were going to go after the fucking Weather Bureau. I got laughed at. Now it's my turn to laugh (not laughing, but screaming bloody murder).
This obscene twit Skum doesn't know that the NWS is one of the most cost-effective agencies in the country. With a budget if maybe $1.5 billion, it saves many, many $billions and countless lives, not to mention the number of expensive business suits not ruined by warning people when they should take an umbrella.
Don’t bet on the Radical Supremes doing anything but giving the (very articulate legalese) go-ahead to the Out-Of-Control Branch of government, saying a king, er, I mean a president has the right to the government he wants.
"On July 4, 1776, [Thomas Jefferson]] bought [a thermometer] from Philadelphia merchant John Sparhawk for £3-15. Three days earlier he had begun his first surviving "meteorological diary." For the rest of his life his daily routine included a thermometer check at dawn and in late afternoon — in his opinion, the coldest and warmest times of day. https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/thermometer
While cuts are being made to the essential Federal employees who protect all of us, why are no cuts being made to the Secret Service who protect Twitler and his minions?! Get out that chainsaw Muskovite.
After Elon's Dogebags destroy NOAA, property damages along the gulf from increasingly strong storms because of climate change will skyrocket. No private insurance company will touch those states, and the federal government will be forced to provide homeowners insurance.
That unexpected and completely unforeseen increase in spending will, unfortunately, cut into the tax cuts for rich fuckwads.
Ah, who needs these guys with all their fancy weather "forecasting" mumbo-jumbo. Real 'murikkkans don't need a few days warning of tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms, heat waves. You know, things that kill people and utterly destroy property. That's for sissies. Real 'murikkkans will just look out the window, then pray to Jeebus to be protected. Works every time.
One more thing for the farmers to worry about, along with the impact of the curtailing of USAID. I suppose that Conagra and Archer Daniels Midland and etc. will pay Skum to equip his Starlink satellites with cameras and all the other gear for weather forecasting.
Come on, everyone knew that NOAA's days were numbered when they turned their weather machines on Red States instead of using them to prevent the Italians from hacking our elections with their satellites.
I'm still pissed that the didn't give me enough snow to break in my new snow shoes. What is the point of having a weather machine if not to use it recreationally.
The year before retiring, I took the Christmas bonus and bought a snowblower so I didn't, sometime in the future, keel over from a heart attack while shoveling.
We didn't get enough snow the following two winters to ever use the thing to make sure it worked correctly.
They are controlled by government workers. You can either have hurricanes destroy red states, or you can have snow. You can't have both without pre-filing the proper requisition form with your local, now unattended NOAA office four months in advance.
"the Founders never had doppler radar and they did just fine"
They also did fine without electricity, trains, planes, cars/trucks, auto or semi-auto firearms, an MSM, radio, satellites, pre-packaged ready-to-eat foods, grocery stores.... If they could do it, so can we: bring back the good ol' days of the Antebellum.

"pointing to that weekend when Trump wanted to golf but it rained, and why didn’t they stop that"
I blame the Leftist, Socialist, Fascist, Communist, LGBTQIA+ loving, Drag show attending, Disloyal, Unpatriotic, Out to destroy our country Libs for preventing Mooseballs Mussolini from playing golf more than one out of every three days since his coronation:
Leave it to the brilliant thinkers within the MAGA (bowel) movement to make an effort to prevent the libs from ruining any more of the Fulvous Flatulence's golf outings:
> "Fake stories that atmospheric experiments are triggering natural disasters have led to US states pushing blanket bans on weather modification, which experts say may jeopardize current local scientific programs and hinder future research.
...
Americans have amplified increasingly conspiratorial explanations for extreme weather events—even blaming manufactured clouds blocking sunlight for the devastation.
"NOAA also operates the National Hurricane Center, which tracks and predicts the course of deadly storms that cause loss of lives and billions of dollars in damage"
This is the same NOAA/National Hurricane Center that created all those deadly storms and sent them over red states to punish them! (See above)

Hell, not collecting data was paramount to the US keeping the number of COVID deaths in 2020 in check. No data? No problems. This mantra worked then... oh, wait...

Well, fuck, I had hoped that the Enlightenment would last a bit longer what with its emphasis on empiricism, reason, and conclusions from observations. Just proved too damned difficult for Homo not-so-sapiens I guess.
I hope Musk and Trump get struck by lightning

Subhead...Brilliant!
The founding fathers didn't have Doppler radar, but it sure wasn't for lack of interest https://jefferson-weather-records.org/node/41019.

Perhaps morons need to know that NWS provides the information to local and Fox weather.
Good! The gravy trains needs to be stopped. Stupid meteorologists...driving around in their Ferraris and Lamborghinis...
Ta, Dok. I have no reason to listen to anyone who doesn't know that The Weather Channel gets all its information from NOAA. I. Just. Can't. Even.

But hey, as that South African immigrant who runs the Oval Office said, it’s going to hurt for a while. So he warned us…
"the federal government will be forced to provide homeowners insurance" Forced how? Those who lose their homes will just be homeless, that's all.
The billionaires will own all the homes and fund the insurance companies.
This right here. The government won't get in the business of homeowner's insurance, that's socialist and therefore of the devil.
Small comfort that the red states will be hurt the worst.

Well, If I lived anywhere along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico I'd move.
Careful there, AP.

It's in the Bible people!

Don't they have something to do with the chemtrails also, too?
I now see it was my fault all along.

Feelings are so much more satisfying.
Feelings don't care about your facts!
