The summer wildfire and hurricane season is going to be wild.
Between gutting forestry services, national park services, weather services, FEMA… Yeah…
Blyat!
Prepare to watch the entire country’s agricultural output drop 20% over the next 4 years because we can’t predict what the weather is going to do for planting and harvesting anymore.
NOAA or its assets will be sold off and privatized to Trump’s capitalist friends. They’ll then sell that data back to the gov’t, farmers, airlines, and everyone else that relies on accurate weather reporting.
At a higher price than it was when it was funded through taxes.

I thought most people were stupid, I did not expect the American electoral college to be just as stupid.
Purely selfish note to add: I enjoy flying paragliders for fun. The thought of good forecast data fading away is super sad for my hobby (and super dangerous for aircraft travel in general). Might have to start using the European weather models more often, even though they haven’t been quite as accurate for the places in the US I like to fly.
It’s fine guys! We have a stable genius with a marker
