End of GFS data?

I’m guessing that the US election result means that we’ll lose GFS data some time after January?

Along with NATO… :frowning:

Not good for us but I suspect there will be worse consequences to come in January!

I agree, but I was trying to stay more or less on-topic for the forum.

I hate to see this forum turned political, especially by folks who are not even US citizens. More than half the US is elated today at the changes that will be coming in January. And, to those who brought politics into this forum, please stop.

I started the thread and it’s my forum so I can choose to say what I want on it and also choose whether to keep or delete content others post on it.

Do you really think/believe the changes that are coming in January will only affect America?

I commented on a campaign promise to shut down NWS. Another person commented on a campaign promise for the US to leave NATO. Both of those things affect non-US citizens. There are numerous other ‘promises’ that are concerning to citizens of the world and as we can’t vote on them all we can do is comment.

If comments about such things upset you and spoil your elation then perhaps you’d be better off not using the forum?

And this is why I asked for politics not to be allowed so as to ruin a great forum. I don’t where you get your information about US politics, but I’ve never heard or seen anything about a campaign promise to shutdown the NWS or for the US to leave NATO. Both of those things are absurd. As you’re probably aware, the mainstream media in the US is horribly biased towards conservatives and people who think for themselves. The democratic party thinks so little of over half the country that just last week, the outgoing president referred to us as “garbage”. And, unfortunately, your threat to delete posts is the same methodology the current US administration uses against people that disagree. It’s called ‘lawfare’, using a position of authority to silence voices it disagrees with.

So, yes, it’s your forum and you can exercise ‘lawfare’ and ban me and delete my posts, or allow “free speech” and keep it a place where the discussion remains on topic and politics free.
