People from farmers to pilots, will be at significant risk.

Big mistake. tRump will go back to weather forecasting again.

It’s like they are really trying to kill off Americans…..Red and Blue….every cut they make puts people in some kind of danger and this helps make our country great?🤷🏻‍♀️

Jesus, Moses, & Mohammed will sort it out. Less payout of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, more play in the sun for super rich. Entertain the masses by consumption. Make SPQR Great Again.

I’m literally already experiencing inaccurate forecasts. How disappointing

This is TERRIBLE news!
They are not allowing Rapid City, SD to launch weather balloons,
AT ALL, anymore.
Period.

As a current part-time resident of SD, I can tell you there is some SERIOUS weather events that take place there!

Cool. So the hail and tornadoes will be a fun little surprise. 😀

Very much so! 😫

I can't wait for hurricane & tornado season this summer!
This is gonna be some real fun stuff.
And I bet my home owner's insurance skyrockets from the tariffs.
I guess we can try to "nuke" the storms, or maybe he can wave his magic sharpie & get the hurricane to attack Mexico instead of the US. 🙄

high cost is big barrier why I started selling life insurance in bulk to help people. But with insurance it is not just about getting Finacially Prudent, Fiscally Responsbile, and ObamaCare compliant, it's about charcter.

@lawdog.bsky.social has no Home Owner's Insurance. He is NOT a good persnon!

If you live in tornado alley..shouldn't be too happy about this..or wildfires..hurricanes, etc. See the GOP don't believe in Climate Change...but they see the effects from it all around them..so nix the firefighters, climate science, etc., won't bother them they think..they're too rich/powerful
