DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases on key weather buildings

The Trump administration has informed NOAA that two pivotal centers for weather forecasting will soon have their leases canceled, sources told Axios.

Why it matters: One of the buildings is the nerve center for generating national weather forecasts.

  • It was designed to integrate multiple forecasting centers in one building to improve operating efficiency. It houses telecommunications equipment to send weather data and forecasts across the U.S. and abroad.

Apparently some very clever people are saying that NOAA/NWS isn’t needed because they can get the weather forecast from an app on their phone!

There not that clever where do they think the apps get the data from

It’s the same group of clever people who say that farmers aren’t needed any longer because they can buy all the food they need at the supermarket.

That a Really Good One!

Just 4 years to go … if we can make it that far.
Just remember guys he picks … “only the best people!”
