    If the Democrats had any brains they would be hammering this in Florida media. We live and die, literally, by NOAA. It may be the only federal government benefit we all make use of.

    The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories.

    This is actually on page 664, couldn’t find it without a search. OP is probably going by the text NPR published.

    They have been trying this for decades, voting republican, pro oil, science and global warming deniers without the ability to afford insurance.

    Fuck them. They are going to blame their misery on the Democrats somehow and DeSantis will talk shit about the federal government and right after ask for wads of money to rebuild and take credit for it.

    Fuck them.

      Without project 2025 we have let them monetize the data from our weather gathering. We need to get for profit companies out of government completely imo.

      The data that goes into those products comes from some satellites but also from Hurricane Hunter recon flights operated by the Air Force reserve. Those flights use highly specialized planes and specialized crews to penetrate these powerful hurricanes. It would not be so easy for the private sector to just replicate that capability.
