It’s cool they’re blowing up the weather prediction arm of NOAA. Now every day can be a little treat where you find out if you need to prepare for something bad on the fly. Live in the moment

The good news is that those states most at risk for climate related weather Emergencies and least able to replace the capabilities on their own are generally red shares noone will miss.
The commitment to just blowing shit up - not stealing it, not privatizing it to extract rent from it, not filling it full of loyalists, just destroying it for the pure joy of destruction
We're past the profit motive and just vibing, it's really somethin
I mean, they're doing it as whalefall to a hundred little Hitlers who want in on privatization. in this case, AccuWeather has wanted to blow up the NWS/NOAA and make weather forecasting a purely paid service for years
I think the theme of resentment and reprisals is also a big part of why Trump has been so surprisingly willing to cede attention and authority to Musk. He loves attention and power but this allows him to focus on hurting people he hates specifically.
And the red state enduring horrific weather today will be….gosh we wish we knew. Live in a state of panicked preparedness every single day from now on. Signed, Elon
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it occurs to me that maybe they did this to make it harder for scientists to collate data about climate change?
I dunno why but I cannot shake the image of Donnie turning to Elon like "your people, they can do weather? Like in the sky?"
and Elon belching out "oh yes, Starlink actually has cloud seed capability and we-" and Donnie just immediately hearing the tinnitus sound as his eyes unfocus
They're all like, "We can't predict the weather a week in advance, how do we know that climate change is real" and then they smash the weather prediction apparatus.
I believe you although I can’t really speak to that. The owners have a history of trying to keep the NWS from giving weather info to the public for free. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Lee_Myers
That’s MAGA right there!
So, just like days gone by, we will not know what to dress for. Being not prepared for floods and other weather calamities, is going to be such a treat.

Look outside your personal bubble.

(By hiding in our rice, expensive houses while laughing at the poors being hurt. Just like great grandad Colonel Beaureguard!)
Which is to say, I think any government organization could be construed as running against their wishes in some manner or another.
