@ZLabe “The National Weather Service costs the average American $4/year in today’s inflated dollars — about the same as a gallon of milk — & offers an 8,000 % annual return on investment, according to 2024 estimates. It’s a farce for the administration to pretend that gutting an agency that protects our coastlines from a rising tide of disasters is in the best interests of our economy or national security. If the private sector could have done it better & cheaper, it would have, & it hasn’t.”
