Prove these retirements and early buyouts is the reason these kids died.


Keep in mind the NWS was issuing flood watches and warnings hours in advance of this.

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

Admit you were misspoken ^^

I never said they were. I was simply addressing your false claims that cuts didn't happen or weren't scheduled to happen until later in the year.

I guess we can agree that thought is incorrect.

Keep in mind the NWS was issuing flood watches and warnings hours in advance of this.

Will that happen later in the year with even bigger cuts?

Have you ever worked for or with government agencies??
Ever?
If you have, you know to the extent they are overstaffed and wasteful at the state and federal levels. Unbelievably overstaffed. The only entity on the planet that is so wasteful than the government is large universities where most people who work there - barely work at all.
They have so many minions and underlings it is incredible.
And I know this, I have seen it in my career for decades.

True or not the statements that cuts hadn't happened yet are false.

not completely true. NWS employees took buyouts (25K bonus). Gone now, not October.

National Weather Service (NWS) employees have taken buyouts as part of broader government downsizing efforts. These buyouts, along with early retirements and other departures, have led to significant staff reductions within the agency.
and Texas.....
Key Points regarding NWS buyouts in Central Texas:

• Austin/San Antonio NWS office: This office currently has a 15% vacancy rate for meteorologists, with the overall vacancy rate increasing to 23% due to employees taking buyouts by the end of April 2025
• Central Texas Specifics: While the buyouts are part of a nationwide initiative, the Austin/San Antonio office is directly affected, contributing to staffing shortages at that location.

Flash floods can have a warning time of minutes in potential flood zones. That is no better than massive earthquakes also as you compare it to wildfires. Kamla spent one and a half billion dollars on her election. Most of it wasted as Progs do. For they live off of the excesses and the printing presses of fiat currency.

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.

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

Important people have been let go. Staffing is down. Thank Doggy.

I think you should do some research. I did. Also no whatabutism. It truly makes you look silly.

we do not know for certain, time will tell

Texas Department of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd told reporters Friday original forecasts from the National Weather Service predicted 4 to 8 inches of rain in that area, “but the amount of rain that fell in this specific location was never in any of those forecasts.”

Sit down and STFU, idiot. You are celebrating kid’s deaths on a lie.

You trying to cover up the trump administration’s incompetence is the bigger crime.

But…… those tax breaks for billionaires are necessary. <<<< **** That.

True or not the statements that cuts hadn't happened yet are false.

Taking that at face value, how did that affect the warning that went out three hours before the flood?

How many more NOAA/NWS bureaucrats (x) were needed to save lives lost (y)?

Show your math.

Trump’s DOGE Cuts Are a Texas-Sized Disaster

Much more of this on the way. The government's top two priorities are the military and ICE, and everyone else can go to hell.

That's all you ghoulish assholes are playing right now, claiming that these NOAA/NWS bureaucrats would have made any difference.
