They're going to privatize the weather, that's the end game of this.

Privatize everything and get that sweet government contract with no competition for it

I couldn't figure out why they were going after the weather at first. But when they remove their computers, they want them to not have the tools, they're going to privatize. I bet they go down a list of public agencies and see who wants to get the contract and how much they'll bribe them for it.

I want to see a badass government in the future that mercilessly reclaims everything that was stolen by the current kleptocracy.

Who needs a supercomputer when you can change the path of a hurricane with $2

I have no idea why anyone in Colorado would ever vote Republican again.

Conservatives hate Science. They hate facts and evidence.

This is just one more step in returning America to a ChristoFascist theocracy.

Probably killing climate change effects research.

No more climate change if there's no evidence, that's just science.

Please don't tell me they're moving them into ai facilities.

Oh no, no, no. They're gonna leave em collecting dust in some warehouse right up until the newly privatized weather service needs equipment, who will be able to purchase them at an absolute steal!

At this point I'm just rooting for the fascist pedo-cunt court to see how much of the country can they destroy before someone gets a gun and does the right thing.

My bet is the US are going to devolve into a north korea in no time. 

We should start calling them North Mexico.
