Long story, short: Trump wants people to think he has more power than he does.
Well who’s gonna remind Trump he doesn’t have as much power as he’d like? Republican dominated congress or his cronies on the Supreme Court?

So what essential and important things NOAA does is NOAA not gonna be able to do now?
Effective and accurate weather data monitoring and collection. There's a reason it's the global fucking standard

That's why you pricks want to kill it, it goes against your "the government sucks at everything" ideology

How is firing people and reducing funding by 30% going to stop NOAA from effective and accurate weather data monitoring and collection?

Also, there's quite a few research articles of NOAA's that I have a feeling you wouldn't agree with.

If someone else posted this already, much apologies, but if not, is well articulated summary of the Peter Thiel and co tech billionaire instruction manual they hope to reshape nations with

description
A look into how the tech leaders may be using the new administration to achieve their own agenda. Looking specifically at Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks as well as their relationship with figures like JD Vance, Balaji Srinivasan, and Curtis Yarvin. There is a focused discussion on how a shaping of the government might take place based on convergences between the ideas of Yarvin, who influences the tech libertarian right, and Project 2025, who have authored a playbook exclusively for President Trump to help with his transition to power.

HOW IS CUTTING THEIR STAFF BY 50% AND THEIR BUDGET BY 30% GOING TO STOP NOAA FROM DOING THEIR FUCKING JOBS?

Are you serious right now? Do you have a head injury?
