The U.S. can just keep printing money. Or raise taxes on billionaires.
on a completely unrelated note...
in the past 3 years, we've had more than $440 BILLION in damages just from large catastrophic $1+ BILLION weather events
oh well...i'm sure there won't be any cost that comes with scaling back research and monitoring of these kinds of storms

Yeah, potential costs could increase significantly (in dollars and human lives). For example, any impact to "firecasting" (winds, broader weather, and fire progression/behavior modeling) could be catastrophic and will also either cause spikes in insurance premiums or insurance unavailability.

Who’s going to service the computers, who is going to run the cameras, who is going to be on TV. This is beyond dumb.
You are right, they need to raise taxes on everyone.
I was driving to Iowa city in 2006 on I-80, I stopped under an underpass 10-20 miles from Iowa City when the tornadoes hit Iowa City. Smartest decision I made, very well could have been driving during the Tornado. My future wife told me the warnings were going off. Without that call I am not sure I stop.
Elon Musk has taken in many many times more in $$ from US government contracts than these employees will cost us in over a decade's worth of salaries.
Yes, strong storms/hail etc can degrade satellite comms, including Starlink.
Which is typically when air traffic systems would need to be MOST reliable....
Ha ha. But the problem is that many don’t get the private sector is the base of job creation so that Govt jobs are created.
AI is a tool
Very powerful tool, but it still needs human interventions and expertise to keep it on track.
When AI starts inputting and regurgitating its own output, it becomes unstable. Every time.
It’ll be fun when it’s getting really dark and raining cats and dogs with wind and lightning and idiots will continue on their day like it’s a peaceful sunny day because the weather person didn’t tell you we have some severe weather happening.
It’s like you can still use some common sense. I have never in my life needed the weather person to tell me when I need to head to the basement.
Aside from that, you act like every single person is being laid off from the nws.
Again, it does suck people are being laid off. But maybe, just maybe there should not have been that many people employed there to begin with. Could this have been an issue with our last leadership wanting his employment numbers to look better? Possible.
Is this just Trump being a d-bag once again?
Possible.
But it’s amazing watching the sky is falling crowd melting down over these layoffs that very well could be justified.
Enjoy your bumpy flights folks. Aviation weather will be back to the wright brothers age.
Government jobs have generated core science that you're using to post in this thread.
Those technologies would not exist w/o that funded work by government-paid scientists.
You are choosing to be an idiot or stupid. That wasn’t the premise. Go get you Covid booster and big mac
Absolutely wild it all stems from this idiotic picture. Such a ****ing snowflake.
Enjoy your bumpy flights folks. Aviation weather will be back to the wright brothers age.
Unavailable weather forecasts for flights + fired air traffic controllers + FAA communications system that fails to connect w/ Starlink systems in bad weather.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong here?
So why is Trump proposing another round of tax cuts? You think the king of bankruptcy gives a shit about balancing the budget?
Why do any of us work. Just give away Covid type stimulus and we have an economy
Joe s Econ class 101
No he doesn’t.
What this shows is the executive branch can cut spending without help from anybody.
Hopefully somebody in the futures uses it wisely to actually cut the debt.
It’s ridiculous the pants shittting that goes on here with every single cut.
Like many said, it’s a drop in the bucket to what really needs to happen. $36 trillion and people act like we won’t know a hurricane hits until the day after.

No, but with funding cuts, there will likely be less monitoring of storms and hurricane intensity won't be as accurate.
Personally, given the VAST majority of hurricane and tornado activity being in/near MAGAland...fvck em.
Let them feel, firsthand, President Musk's actions.
Said before, I should never use my phone. That said, I used to think it's an act called trolling and you really weren't that dumb, but I was wrong.
What's everyone complaining about, trump has realized that he can replace these people with simply a black sharpie. Who knows more than trump about the direction of a tornado or hurricane.
I’m sorry you need someone to tell you if it is safe to go outside.
Good luck in the future.
