They made Trump feel silly for naming one state erroneously in a tweet. They gotta go.

Imagine not knowing a hurricane is coming?

Project 2025 is just a bunch of elitist know-it-alls trying to break the things that work so normal people can’t live their lives.

What a dumb thing to want to get rid of, but then again most of the things they want to get rid of are dumb
They want to privatize this service so that only paid subscribers can know about major emergencies.

Makes sense, bury the ostrich head and we can pretend it not happening. This is NC’s approach.

If Trump lived in the 1600s he’d be arguing that the world is flat.
Only someone who is bat shit crazy would argue that shutting down NOAA is a good idea. NOAA’s work on tracking and understanding hurricanes has saved countless lives.

Who needs “deep state agencies” when you can just use the brain and nuke the hurricanes???
“NOAA ‘should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories,’ Project 2025 reads.”
“‘The preponderance of its climate-change research should be disbanded,’ the document says. It further notes that scientific agencies such as NOAA are ‘vulnerable to obstructionism of an Administration’s aims,’ so appointees should be screened to ensure that their views are ‘wholly in sync’ with the president’s.”
“‘Every non-billionaire American should dread this plan,’ Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who has been raising alarms about NOAA’s fate since Trump first took office, told me in an email.”

Walz needs to bring this up during debate with JD Dunce. After all, he wrote the forward for P2025.

And that’s the way it should be. If you want to know if a hurricane is coming, put your own weather satellites in orbit. If you can’t afford weather satellites, you deserve to die in a storm, peasant. /s

Project 2025 architects want Americans to get down on their knees and beg sky faery for safety from the hurricanes he wrought on us like it is the dark ages and we have no idea about Science.

The NOAA is super important to our military. Remove the NOAA and you weaken our ability to plan battles, put our navy in danger and prepare for weather disasters.

Well we wont have any more storms once we’ve put all the witches, doctors and other wizards to the torch. Besides, we will have Trump to protect us. /s

I honestly don’t understand why people are surprised
1) the agency is staffed by people who accept human induced global warming: it does not matter that they provide a necessary service – they are the enemy
2) project 2025 is authoritarian but it’s not really about governance: they do not want to provide “anything” – that’s the role of the private sector
3) this is about corruption: who gets the money for these privatized service? The people who are suggesting this. “It will save $2 billion a year”….for an inferior service, which will likely cost even more. “Nobody knew predicting the weather was so expensive. But we are committed now, and these are just teething issues, and we will save in the long run”

This would also have a chilling effect on the already beleaguered local TV news industry. Local meteorologists count on data from NOAA in order to bring timely and accurate forecasts to their viewers. In the case of a hurricane, or tornadoes, this function is critical to saving lives. Weather forecasts bring the majority of viewers to local news, which is the largest source of revenue for the stations. If this data is privatized companies like Accuweather will charge local stations that can’t afford their own radar systems through the nose likely putting many out of business.

Theres no money in hurricane awareness. Only in repair.

Sometimes in this crazy mixed up world it is difficult to stand with conviction for what is right. There is a near constant propaganda pressure from anti-american actors/Republicans that, if you aren’t careful, can begin to make you question what you know to be true in this life. Thankfully, these unamerican amoral individuals do things like this quite often which clearly and succinctly snaps you back to reality, illustrating that these are terrible terrible people and that what I know is true and that I am without a doubt on the right side of history. That should fuel us all to fight this psychotic turn out great country has taken. Fight these unamerican fascists.

There used to be two political parties with different ideas about what is best for the country. Now there is one party that wants to turn the US into Somalia.

That’s the P:25 climate change plan. Kill as many people as possible.
And Florida is all about this ass clown. The stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
