NWS cuts challenged due to flooding preparation in Texas

[Thinker101]

It's like shooting fish in a barrel, huh?

Fish in that barrel are already brain dead.

 

[Marener]

Yep, that sure explains why Texas has third fastest population growth...moron.

People go because it’s cheap. It’s cheap because they don’t have to pay for things like warning systems.

That’s great, until it’s not.

It’s a shithole if you ask me.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

It’s a shithole if you ask me.

Why would we ask someone who can't even spell "Mariner"?

And then advertises it to the internet on the daily by cavorting around with a misspelled screen name?

No, most wouldn't take advice from someone that idiotic.

If you ask me.

 

[Winco]

You and other Dimwingers are shitting in their dead bodies while they are still in the water,

Disgusting POS.

You're the POS that keeps shitting on the dead children.
Why do you HATE children so much?
You're a worthless POS, that must protect trump at all costs, even at the expense of dead children.

You are a disgusting POS.

 

[Marener]

That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees, according to a person with knowledge of his departure.

Warnings went out starting 12 hours in advance, Moroner.

Your lies have been destroyed.
Go find some other dead kids to shit on, POS.

 

[konradv]

So what? And why is that relevant?
The cuts addressed overlapping and redundancy

Then why did they have to rehire so many people? Sounds like incompetence!

 

[Carson]

That’s right, libs are blaming Trump for cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in the NWS for the deaths in the Texas floods.

The problem is these cuts don’t even happen for months.

Liberals are 100% evil.



To be clear, the "cuts" being cited are not only minimal and target bloat, not effective services, but they do not go into effect until October. As for any prior staff cuts (NOAA was in the process of cutting 10 percent of its staff), there is likewise no evidence that those hampered the forecasting of this event. Yet, even a California state senator is repeating the lie because he believes it helps him politically. The NWS could have a trillion-dollar budget, and it would have put out the same forecast.

As the Death Toll Rises in Texas, Democrats Choose to Be Black-Souled, Evil Ghouls

Heartbreaking updates on the Texas flood tragedy and political responses. Empathy is needed.

Says 600 were cut. I have to assume those cuts were already in affect.


E&E News: NWS hires won’t make up for Trump cuts, meteorologists say

Your first mistake.

NWS already confirmed they had extra staff on hand for the event, moron.

Please try to keep up.

So? They had extra staff on hand for the event. They move people around and staff up for these things, dumbass. They were tracking it for over a week.

I never made the claim so I am under no obligation to address it.

Except that you DID just two messages prior say it was 'already addressed,' so yeah, you kinda do have some obligation to address it. So, where exactly was it 'already addressed' like you claimed it was?

 

[Dirk the Daring]

No, I want you to provide Democratic officials who have said this.

Ha, keep sliding that goalpost further and further down field. 'No no, what I said was, find me ONE Dem named Tony who said back in October of 2021 that...'

 

[Dirk the Daring]

The amount of rain that fell at this specific location was never in any of those forecasts

Texas Officials Slam Trump’s National Weather Service for Bad Forecast

Officials in Texas are casting blame on the National Weather Service (NWS) for failing to forecast catastrophic flooding that has killed 24 people. NWS was among the government agencies targeted by the Trump administration in its effort to gut the federal bureaucracy, losing approximately 600...

Ya know, where I live, we get tornado 'watches' and tornado 'warnings' all the time, but never once has any one meteorologist, no one from the NWS, no one from NOAA, ever told me the EXACT moment and location that a funnel cloud was going to touch down. What failures they are...

 

[Dirk the Daring]

No one is shitting on dead children. They’re shitting on MAGA for blowing up parts of government that they didn’t understand and then trying to hide from their responsibility.

Exactly what part of 'government' failed here?

 

[Dirk the Daring]

Your shitty government failed those kids.

No warning system in the county. Too expensive. Taxpayers don’t want to pay for it.

I guess lower taxes is more important than the lives of kids.

Taxpayers not wanting to pay for something is a failure of 'government?'

Exactly what warnings DIDN'T go out last week that WOULD have gone out with that position filled?

I already addressed it.
