Personally I don’t know how much more hurricanes can be studied? They’ve been studied to death. And weather is going to happen whether we have a thousand people employed predicting it or 100 people employed predicting it and I guess we’ll have to depend on our local meteorologist also.
Rhea P, there are billions of dollars and hundreds or thousands of lives at stake when the path of a hurricane shifts just a few miles. You’d be stupid to think that better forecasting and modeling isn’t worth a lot.
This isn’t just about hurricanes (although there’s still plenty to learn from them). NOAA and NWS are essential components of commerce and everyday life, which is why they are component agencies of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The next time you board an aircraft, thank the NOAA employees who chart weather systems for pilots to navigate you safely from point A to point B.
I have worked for small, medium, and large businesses and owned and operated my two of my own successful businesses. No well-run business just randomly fires people and then gleefully celebrates kicking these former employees while they are down.
Not only is what happening disgusting and a brazen attempt to hijack our government to serve the interest of billionaire tech oligarchs (as we become more and more like Russia or North Korea), but it is also just *bad business*.
You have a bunch of smart-aleck, immature kids who could not find their rear-ends with a map being let loose to randomly dig through confidential information, including *my* information and *your* information, and giving termination orders to people with *zero* basis under the direction of a megalomaniac multi-billionaire who (A) wants to distract the public while he finagles *another* huge tax break for himself and his billionaire buddies and enriches himself with multi-billion dollar government contracts and (B) enjoys being a sadist and watching ordinary working-class, taxpaying Americans suffer and laughing about it.
It is insanity what is happening, and it needs to be stopped.
Average Conservative Thought Leader Mentality
The key word in your comment is “personally”.
As in, you personally dont know anything about the jobs or how important the job function is, so let’s just start cutting. Your local meteorologist… gets all of the data from the NWS and NOAA!!! They are TV personalities, but I guess that tracks with populating the government with a bunch of TV personalities that aren’t qualified for the jobs they have been given.
NOAA is targeted because it is associated with the word “woke” because of climate change, ignoring all of the other vital functions it has in the name of… I don’t know, winning?
Only if you inhabit an alternative reality, you can’t see or even want to understand the economic benefits that come from these core government services.
This feels a lot like 2017 when Trump fired the pandemic preparedness team and threw away years of planning and preparation because it was “a waste of money”.
Or more likely, I can see a time when your weather app will come with a $4.99 a month subscription that some rich Republican billionaire will profit from.
Let a businessman do his thing. Eliminate the baseball team that is doing three people’s job
In the real world, business people execute on initiatives like this strategically and with defined purpose. The best CEOs operate in this way.
That is not what is happening here.
Businessman ? TRUMP is a Bankruptcy in motion . He couldn’t even keep casinos solvent
How many of you are Federal Employees or have a clue what the government looks like from the inside? The Federal Government is bloated. It is due for a thinning out. Contrary to the thought that one person is doing 3 jobs, I see 3 people doing one jobs. I see Federal Employees and contractors who are in positions created to keep them employed. Just thinning out the Federal grants and studies that are absurd will save billions.
$12 million for a pickleball court in Vegas? $4 million to pay Ukrainian influencers? $15 billion to push Americans to drive electric vehicles? Over $1Trillion in identified waste and there are thousands of Federal Employees and contractors being paid to dream up and implement these programs.

If there was strategy involved we’d all agree.
But starting with the smallest stuff to say you did something and randomly firing the entire nuclear division, etc… embarrassing
Cancel 500 Halliburton contracts – boom I just shaved 10% off the budget. Trump said countries fear him so we don’t even need a military anymore anyways
All of this “waste, fraud, and abuse” cutting is a side show. It is far more about loyalty and politics and installing loyal servants, than cutting enough to make a difference in the deficit.
Until you reconfigure Medicare, Medicaid, and SS,, this is all just moving chairs around the Titanic so we can all feel good about ourselves. This government impact is a literal drop in the bucket compared to those items.
Are there things that should be strategically addressed, yes. Is the way it is being handled incompetent, also yes.
