The storms come just weeks after the Trump administration cut the jobs of hundreds of federal weather forecasters. The New York Times reported last week that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is responsible for tornado warnings and other weather forecasts, is set to cut 20 percent of its workforce. Meteorologists and scientists warned earlier this month that eviscerating weather agencies would risk public safety.
“It’s going to affect safety. It’s going to affect the economy,” warned former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad in an interview with the Associated Press, pointing out that the country was “getting into prime tornado time.”
As the devastated areas begin to rebuild, they will also have less help. At the directive of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency also cut 200 positions barely a week ago and is making preparations to cut more.

Well the good side of the cuts is that it will be harder to get data on damage and deaths. It’ll be like it never happened!
It harkens back to his idea that if you don’t test for COVID the numbers go down.
It’s just so fucking stupid.
sigh
It’s in the right states so I don’t care. Yeah yeah I’m so bad. All those innocent people. Whatever, leopards and shit. All my empathy has washed away with the flood.
Congratulations you’re a Republican.
And hurricane season is up next. Y’all better hope there are no major storms for the next four years at least
Most states that get hit by those are red states anyway. They’ll get what they voted for.

I wish climate change was that focused.

And also the trump supporters who ate there will believe:
This isn’t his fault
Actually it’s Biden
If Biden was in charge it would be worse actually
If fema was actually doing anything they’d have to pull up and threaten them with guns cause they are only there to steal stuff
This is good.
Regardless of what things actually are. Reality is as it would benefit trump, nothing else is true.
The rural vs urban divide is real in the south
But at least we saved Palestine by not allowing bLuEmAGa to take office though…right? Right?
I’m in the south. People here literally believe it’s because god is punishing us for being “woke”. They will never blame dear leader. He could break into your house, shoot your kids in the head, and they would blame Biden, and trans, and gayness. It sucks here.
Obviously the leftist cult trans wokists infiltrated HAARP to activate the negatively-polarized nanobearings suspended in chemtrails, which generated the storms and lubricated the tornadoes for maximum destruction. Only God could have seen this coming, but He was distracted praising Dear Leader for giving the world’s most perfect speech to the Department of Justice.
My family and friends got hit pretty hard my the storm and multiple tornados over in Missouri. Still most of us agree that Missouri gets what they voted for and they’ll be fine with their support systems in place and the rest of Missouri can suck it with what they voted for.
