Doge reduced warning and response time for the Texas flood.

doge cut the department of education, so it is likely a child won't be taught math on the same level as before.

Hopefully not the same level for sure:

Before DOGE:

Not A Single Student Is Proficient In Reading Or Math At 55 Chicago Schools: REPORT​

Out of 649 Chicago Public Schools, 22 schools have zero students who met grade level expectations for reading while no students were proficient in math in 33 schools during the 2021-2022 school year, according to a Wirepoints report.

The Marxist contaminated Dept. of Edu have been teaching that America as founded is BAD for A ******* CENTURY, and now we have idiots like you screeching about the weather is the fault of Capitalism.
You're nothing but a lab RAT in a terrible failed experiment.

There was a flood watch and a flood warning given, same as before.

But you know, little children died so you must rush in and make it political.

Not so sure about that. Timing is everything.

From your posted X.

"The amount of rain exceeded the NWS forecast as it stalled over the South Fork."

Not actually blaming the NWS,

Ie. the nws did not forecast accurately or provide a range that warned Americans they could die.

Thanks Trump!

Its called a rainfall prediction based on models and not a definitive statement.

Meteorologists predict inaccurately every day, everywhere.

Their predictions only cost dozens of lives of children after Trump randomly fired hundreds from the NWS. They are still trying to rehire people from DOGE cuts that they realized they needed.

This was avoidable and is what happens when the invisible work the government executes is destroyed by an amateur TV reality star.

Doge taking a chain saw to our weather monitoring and warning systems and to FEMA has made the tragedy of the Texas flood even worse than it had to be. Those agencies were in place for a reason, and should have never been degraded by someone who didn't even understand why we need those agencies.

Well-written post, Bulldog. I may not agree with all the conclusions, but credit where it's due—this is how you start a real discussion.

That said, I do wonder: even with all the cuts and restructuring, isn’t it fair to ask how much of this came down to local response systems being overwhelmed? Flash floods are fast and chaotic. Not sure FEMA having 20% more budget would’ve made the Guadalupe behave any differently that night.

And just a side note—calling the Department of Government Efficiency “DOGE” gave me a mental image of a Shiba Inu wearing a FEMA vest. Much response. Very bureaucracy. Wow.

Anyway—genuinely curious to dig into this more. Got any sources on how FEMA’s lead time actually changed over the last few years? I’d like to understand how that played out on the ground.

You go tell the families of those washed away how musk and apparently you don't think a better response was called for.

Why don't you go tell them your lies that their loved ones would not have died in a flood no one has the power to prevent and blame that on Trump. It's what you are going to lie about anyway.

Whether what you say is true or not is questionable because of the endless lies. However, we have a long way to go nationally before we enter California territory in disaster regards. 2nd and 3rd world nation would become 4th world nations with the political class that is in charge of California.

A river that is normally 3 feet in depth, rose to 26 feet in 45 minutes.

But DOGE is responsible.

You clowns are nukkin futs.

You don’t think a hacksaw cut to the NWS could have had anything to do with the lack of warning? It’s a Holiday skeleton crew for an understaffed organization who’s morale is decimated and people are overworked and concerned about their jobs.

Too bad Trump couldn’t sharpie magic this away.

You think paying for irresponsible sex that causes diseases and pregnancies is working even with all of the warnings existing.

Natural disasters are not avoidable. Rain volume is always a prediction.

Wrong thread maybe? This is the flood thread.

I don't. Ever hear of technology? It's all pretty much automated and the local sources are far more intimate with the area and risks.

The NWS was cut because it was not only bloated but also outright obese. A belief that bringing staffing in line with workload seems to be foreign to you, but not to the rest of us.

The river rose 23 feet in 45 minutes. No amount of staffing at the NWS would have prevented that, nor warned the locals.

Terrorists blows herself up in Afghanistan and kills 13 marines and we hear how avoidable it was. Now all we needed here was an accurate forecast… not down to the inch. Just one that said life threatening rain is possible.. to save 30 lives. I mean, why can’t you put Americans over politics?

Clear as day:

I think Texas should do its own forecasting

It is what MAGA wants
