The National Weather Service has received permission to hire 450 meteorologists, hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by Department of Government Efficiency-related cuts and early retirement incentives. cnn.it/4odQIjc

This is directly from red-state Republicans in disaster-prone areas. And with Climate Change even thunderstorms are much more severe due to much larger temperature deviations. Forecasting is much better with modern technology & it's imperative that citizens get proper notice.

Rightsizing: Restructuring a bloated business by reducing staff or operations to an optimal size to eliminate inefficiencies, followed by selectively rehiring or reallocating resources to meet critical needs. It emphasizes aligning the workforce with the company’s strategic goals.

So, the funds they "free'd" up for the tax cut for the rich are slowly being put back in place? That means that there will just be less tax revenue and they will increase the deficit massively and/or there will be a tax increase on the middle class.

You’re assuming that they are rehiring the same number that they let go. The govt is looking to hire 450 people for positions that they let go but how many positions did they let go in the first place? I think it’s best to eliminate redundant positions

No wonder you voted for Trump. You seem to think “doing a thing” is good no matter what that thing is, plus believe anything you are told by wealthy men. The perfect Republican. Why does it matter if they fired more than 450 and are now refilling at least 450 jobs that they fired people from?
