I read yesterday they're already talking with private companies to replace it. So they know it's important, but it's about the grift and extracting money for themselves and their friends.

The only way this will be redeeming is when the red counties get hosed with bad weather with no ability to predict it and then when it fucks them, no FEMA or government help to clean up from it. I'm not thrilled about losing weather but I'm at least looking for the silver lining.

Don't worry, trump can predict the weather while he's on the golf course
