This is going to keep happening. DOGE was never about efficiency. It will go down as one of the biggest scams in history. A taxpayer-funded political stunt, and now we’re paying twice to fix it.

The idea that private weather co's could step in with good weather info if NWS was cut was always an uninformed fantasy.
