“Why should I care about the weather service? It’s an app on phones now. We don’t need to overcomplicate things.”
- Who are you quoting?
  
  I'm guessing it's a generic quote from the perspective of someone who thinks that way
Personally, I’m impressed that they’re maintaining ANY operations.
These people are heroes.
Absolutely no one could have seen this coming. There was no one saying that this would happen. Absolutely no one.
- I’m no one.
This is the planned affect. Now you have to pay a private company for the weather report.
- That, and he just fires anyone who gives him news he doesn't agree with. And we all know how Trump feels about climate change.
It's a miracle we didn't have a busy hurricane season, or this would have really been a nightmare situation. Always next season...
- Still a long way until the end of November...
- There's still a few months left
Once he drops the rest of our weather satellites into the atmosphere for a light show, those nerds won't see anything to worry about anymore and can finally relax. Efficiencied!
To go after the weather is a real dementia don move
Maybe they should stop so everyone can see what they have done. The more they pick up the slack the longer it's going to take to fix this stuff
lol. This is only USA.
Stephen Miller says he is the storm
- Provoking, black clouds in isolation?
  Actually yeah that fits, Stephen Miller is definitely an over dramatic demon who's always on the wrong side
- local one refers to some other website and not the national weather service it's weird
