If you're worried about aviation safety, these NOAA/NWS cuts are just as alarming as anything happening at FAA.

I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted). Please see below screenshot & below for full text.

This event is malicious and monumentally stupid. It's vandalism as government.

True. Also true if you care about US transportation in general or agriculture.

Aside from the national interest of these cuts, there are personal matters these employees concerning paying the rent, mortgage, childcare, healthcare, car loans, student loans, groceries, utilities. You know, life expenses. What are these people supposed to do?

Fired FAA experts and air traffic controllers and now no weather forecasts. Not safe to fly in the US.

Also maritime safety (fishing, shipping, and recreational boating).

"Spectacularly short-sighted and ultimately will deal a major self-inflicted wound to the safety of Americans and the resilience of the American economy" is the motto of the Trump II administration.

The #Purge dose not care how things are connected or interact. This summer will be maddening, as fire, storms and flood come. Some maybe bad and we may not be well prepared because of all this.
