This is absolutely batshit crazy. It's infuriating... Weather information is SO important. NOAA weather warnings are life saving, from North Carolina to California to New Jersey to Florida, etc.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

I'm done with them all.
NOAA collects the data / information, and private companies profit by packaging it to delivery to their consumers. *Most* people get NOAA info via a 3rd (private) party.
Not unexpected.

$6.75 TRILLION DOLLARS (on 4.92 Trillion revenue)
NOAA - $6.8 Billion dollars for weather, flawed climate research, fisheries management, coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce
Seems high
I really don’t give a shit. If you own a Tesla, sell the fucker. I’m sure someone in some oppressed country will buy the piece of shit.

they just saw a relatively simple program that works really well and helps people, presumably saves lives, and they decided they should have it. to sell back to us. after our tax money built it
they want it so theyre gonna take it and we can go fuck ourselves
SO easy to call your representatives DAILY. They have scripts if it gives you confidence in calling. Calls are recorded daily. Letters and email are not handled as quickly. Call. Call. Call. Get all your friends and family to call too.
Let them know you appreciate them.
Tell 'em you've got their backs. Their DC office is under attack.
It is something you can do NOW to resist, help, lower their anxiety, & yours.
Their regional websites are up; the local number is there for you.
Not sure if that's a joke on my part, or a likely thing might think- that NOAA is a weather control org.
If we start seeing waves of hurricanes in California and tornadoes in the northeast... We'll know.
This is gleeful predation at scale.
