Project 2025’s call to dismantle NOAA by eliminating or privatizing key functions of the agency is the endgame of years of attempts by conservatives and right-wing media to attack the credibility of the agency and the veracity of the data it produces. It also illustrates that the conservative plan is not just to dismantle U.S. climate policy, but also to scrub the climate data that underpins it.
The White House said Sunday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had sent emergency responders, search-and-rescue teams, bottled water, and other resources along the coast.
I get that they’re helping to get votes…
I just hate how red states refuse to help Blue states.
And if there’s a Republican president, feds won’t help blue states.
Yet, Dems constantly bail out red states.
Give them help because it’s the people that suffer, but give the state government a bill.
This isn’t getting caught once with you pants down and learning the lesson, red states are actively fighting science and not taking the steps to prevent this shit in the future. And everyone else has to pay for them when we have our own problems.
If you help the people, and then give the state the bill, you understand that it’s still the people who will suffer, right? You’ve just changed when and how.
I just don’t think that we’re going to agree that “the people need to suffer, if not in this way then another” is the enlightened take that you seem to think that it is. So I’ll agree to disagree here, have a good day.
They will suffer more if republicans stay in charge.
Bailing them out over and over again makes them think Republicans are doing a good job
Republicans having to raise their taxes to cover lack of preparedness even as more continue to happ ns makes them realize shit is not being handled, and that replacing the republicans would be a good idea.
We agree, you’re just thinking short term.
And I’m saying how to fix it long term rather than having the short term problem over and over and over again u til the end of time.
I think you are assuming way to much rationality on the part of Republican voters. Republican politicians will just blame the Democrats, immigrants, and DEI for the failures, and Republican voters will eat it up.
Eh, as far as storms go this isnt that bad so don’t worry about us too much. We usually have hurricane parties as it comes in because we know we’ll get away with a couple days off of work lol.
