Daily Dumb: Trump Fires NOAA workers (Who Provide Weather Forecasts to Aviation and Shipping etc)

[ll74]

What? Are you worried they only let those go that tell YOU which way the wind blows. Leave the basement, step outside, I'm sure you'll figure out eventually..

I was talking about you.

Don't worry, it's all just a guess

I'm sure no issues will arise from yours.

After the RIF's NOAA will only have 11,000 employees left to tell us which way the wind is blowing.

How will we possibly know when a hurricane is coming? Lol

Yes, obviously they only discuss hurricanes and wind.

And obviously the important work can’t continue if the workforce shrinks from 11K+ to 10K+.

Thats funny that you think they already weren't short staffed.

You have no idea. You just read the article and drew a conclusion without any clue about current projects and programs, how they’re organized, where there might be program redundancy, external resources, etc. Keep shitting your pants over a 10% RIF in a government agency you know nothing about.

In his eyes big government is good, bigger government is more betterer.

I do
They've been short staffed and underfunded for years. Over half short for 2023.

I'm not shitting my pants. Im pointing out that this will lead to shitty things for all of us because MAGA fucks can't see value in anything governmental.

I also know that our current administration makes stupid cuts based on keyword searches and useless metrics because they also think government is useless.

We should be increasing budget and AI investment for the NOAA. They keep US citizens significantly safer than without. I'd suggest more than the military.

Your guesses are obviously the best science

lol. You just shared an article that says NOAA got a 7% spending increase in 2023. Based on that, you’re convinced they’re understaffed even though you have no idea what programs and projects are in place, or what the headcount and compensation allocations are. Good grief.

Yes, which was over half what they asked for

Not rocket science.

Based on that they requested a budget twice as big to cover their resourcing and equipment pitfalls, as was listed in their budget request.

Instead they got half and now have had their staff cut by 10% and budget cut by 40%.

The article lists multiple programs that will be shuttered, mostly advances in tech and science which would save more lives and protect Americans.

You dipshits just don't like government... I get it. The NOAA is vital to not only our protection in America but also to our advancement in multiple areas of science and Technology.

You're idiots for thinking otherwise which is why the idiots that cut this shit have your full support.

And not just the last-hired, but anyone recently promoted or transferred.

Transferring between posts is common in public sector (like when someone moves house and takes a post closer to home, or gets married).

Add that they are out if their social media shows they are not 'in' with the felon.

The satellites are fully functional but the Trump administration arbitrarily decided to stop using data collected from the satellites.

BabyBoom thinks this makes sense. He is a stable genius.

Stupid is as stupid does. That is basically the motto of Trump's second term.

You Karens are misinformed. NOAA is relocating all research data from Climate.gov to NOAA.gov.

"Future research products previously housed under Climate.gov will be available at NOAA.gov and its affiliate websites," the agency said on social media Friday.

You are misinformed. Your quote has nothing to do with the satellite data under discussion. Keep trying, sheep.
