what the actual chicken fried fuck?
did they do this because they don't want data about climate change to exist? don't these fuckwads know how much shipping companies rely on that information? not to mention the actual fucking navy

War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows
It creates a need that a private company can then fill. It's greed and grift all the way down with these fucks.
Edit: (Bonus fuckery when they sell the existing instruments to said company for a "pay to play" access to information that was historically always free)
Navy still gets the data, NOAA is getting cut off.
i can't fucking believe we have to deal with this toddler stomping his feet about his stupid wrong weather statement being contradicted that one time by an agency whose entire purpose for existence is studying and forecasting the weather
Truly clownworld
You have to wonder why the administration's trying to make Americans less safe. You don't have to wonder that I know why, but you should ask him. Constantly. Loudly.
With this and FEMA being drawn down I'm guessing Trump wants to create cheap real estate for his rich friends to buy up. If you can't rebuild you'll move and take what you can get for the rubble you used to call home.
Killing adult Americans is part of the plan to get the population to trend younger again. However you can take out adult Americans and increase infant Americans will be taken advantage of
Holy shit, they actually fucked over NOAA.
Fucking why.
They literally do nothing but benefit the world.
I am so tired of this shit, either let me fuck off and live in the woods so I never have to interact with this again or just end everything now, the world they are building isn't worth living in.
Fuck.
Fucking why.
Because it will cause major issues, people will demand a replacement, and a private company owned by someone who bribed Trump will swoop in and "save" everyone with a subpar solution that is worse and cost more.
Fucking why
Because the data shows climate change, so it must be filtered.
think about how much more you could charge poor people if they get severely injured by the hurricane
Petty revenge for not agreeing with trump's sharpie forecast.
They get off on hurting people. They want to hurt everyone but themselves, and sucking up to them only delays the harm they will cause to you. They don't care how they're remembered, as long as people keep saying their names.

This is the only thing that could explain Musk's actions of the last several months as a believable rational choice. He realized he is not going to be around to see immortality or brain downloads or whatever, so he has to make his name and image immortal instead.
Of course, there are numerous other reasons that could explain it, many of them personality flaws.
Remember kids, when WFP asked Musk to feed every starving person in the world for a year for just 6 billion dollars, or 2% of his wealth at the time, he gave the money to his own foundation instead.
About project 2025:
The plan, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, says that the weather service should “fully commercialize its forecasting operations” and focus on providing data to private companies.
It also calls for a “review” of the work of the National Hurricane Center. It acknowledges that the center provides important public safety information, but also says its data should be presented “neutrally” rather than in a way that makes points about climate change.
Edit: here is the source of the quote, an article from September 2024 https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4907338-heritage-foundation-plan-weather-service/
Huh. Wow. So they actually did project this plan. And it really is about commercialization of weather forecasting and denying climate change. America is so deeply fucked from letting him get elected... ugh.
All by themselves, weather forecasting satellites justify every dollar put into space programs. The lives saved are incalculable. We are squandering that benefit for no reason whatsoever.
Sure there is a reason.
Cause a big enough catastrophe and you can declare Martial Law.
In lieu of actual vital data, the DOD will be sending out tRump-branded black Sharpies.
Officials were caught off guard? What do you mean? Was anybody watching the last election and reading project 2025? None of this is a shock.
Yeah they voted for him but they didn't actually think he'd do those things.
You know what?
Go ham. The south Atlantic coast and the gulf coast voted for this. Now comes the “find out” part. I am genuinely out of fucks to give. Enjoy your hurricanes and the non-response you’ll get from the now-gutted FEMA. See if I fucking care. Have fun machine-gunning your own foot.
It's silly to invest in all this expensive technology when you can just look out a window and draw these things with a sharpie.
This was originally in the DOGE plan. What took so long to process? I've been watching for news on this catastrophic decision.
including those monitoring changes to sea ice extent in the polar regions
Ah, there it is. Kicking climate change under the carpet again, I see.
As ever, the Trump Regime is a colony of dumb and malicious assholes.
Trump is making himself the enemies of farmers and coastal communities alike. If I were an evil overlord, I would want my logistics to be rock solid.
🤦
Apparently hurricanes, which are the only outside force that regularly invades and obliterates American cities on American soil, costing billions in damages, multiple times a year...
... are not as important as these undisclosed "security concerns" that DoD somehow finds more important/immediate.
What's the real story? Protecting Americans from hurricanes is too "woke" or something?
Probably the longstanding GOP goal of privatizing everything. To get public support for that, they first have to cripple the public service.
They think that if they don't look at the hurricanes then they won't make landfall.
It's the covid testing strategy all over again
Other than this being Putin Puppetry, I have no idea who would think this is good.
We're castrating FEMA and NOAA. What is the benefit?
Can't afford to rebuild? Zillow will take that pesky property of your hands for a fraction of the price it's worth.
That's the benefit. It's a great idea honestly if your goal is to destroy the housing market for short term profits
Fuck Florida? Fuck MAGA voters down south? Crash insurance and banking markets? Crash US dollar and raise inflation?
Can some one send this mother fucker on his way already?
Why don't people realize Dear Leader (and his Sharpie) is all that's required for ultimately accurate and divinely inspired hurricane forecasting??
Waiting, sadly, for GPS to go back to being obfuscated again. It's bound to happen. Want GPS? You gotta pay.
Seems off topic, I know, but they did this (hurricane) by turning off satellite feeds
Luckily, the EU also has Galileo, and Russia has GLONASS (skeptical about the latter, but it exists).
Nearly every GPS-capable device has access to both of those as well as the US-based GPS.
Get ready for sharpie hurricane forecasting!
Because having less knowledge always works out. Between this and the loss of FEMA, we should get even more "I didn't vote for this". Yes, you did. You just weren't listening.
scrambling to understand the rationale behind the abrupt termination
Stop trying to look for any rationale behind anything this administration does. There is none.
