Hurricane Forecasts Are More Accurate Than Ever – NOAA Funding Cuts Could

I suspect we will later learn that NOAA, as with all such organisations, got an instruction to save costs perhaps by eliminating DEI staffing and decided to show off a bit as to how highly they are regarded by the public by crying poor and bleating about how such cuts to vital operational services were mandated by a heartless administration.

The mandate was actually to just lay off most, if not all of the probationary workforce, indiscriminately. I’m not a fan of big government by any means, but this was the move in a number other sectors, and I’d say this was an objectively dumb move, seeing who was classified as probationary.
