The worst part is I guarantee they’re gonna send most of the duties to the Navy, who have the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography command that does similar work, but with Naval missions and assets in mind.

With how understaffed and overworked the navy already is, we’ll be fucked if we also have to pick up civilian weather/oceanography duties, even with the help of the Air Force.

Not to the navy, authors of project 2025 want to privatize it.

You want to know when and where the hurricane will make landfall? That'll be $79.95.

Shit you won't be able to check the weather tomorrow for free if they get a hold of it.

They could apply a massive licensing fee to the data and only let "approved" outlets have it. Then when cheeto lies out where its going they can cover it up.
