So did China, for the same reason.  Expect a deal in the next 90 days.

Did you know you failed to provide any proof of this and then bailed from the conversation?

Sorry. I thought you knew you were lying in an attempt to create drama. In any event:

You also still have to notify someone at the NWS office, meaning a SKYWARN coordinator made of flesh and blood is still necessary. 
 

Why are you so hellbent on cutting this anyways? We know DOGE is an abject failure, give it up already.

No, DOGE is a failure. It set out to find and eliminate “trillions” in waste. 
 

They’ve been lucky to get a couple billion. And no spending has gone down. We’re on the same track as usual.  
 

 

Failure.

It’s all part of having a laugh at your expense. The constant teen girl-level hysteria is fun to observe. 
 

Have there been any weather disasters made worse by the proposed 10% RIF at weather central? Keep me posted.

Yes eliminating billions in waste is such a failure.

Yeah, this is about right.  It's not about manufacturing.  It's not really about fentanyl.  It's probably not even about reordering global trade.  Or even imposing a sneaky national sales tax (which is the end result).  It's about ego.  None of it makes the slightest bit of economic sense.  

No.  We're good.  Trump told Tim Cook to stop moving Apple's operations from China to India and to the US so we can pay at least a 1/3 more.  Completely in line with isolating China which I thought was the goal.  Or was it bringing back crappy manufacturing jobs to the US?  Guy knows what he's doing.  President's should regularly lecture private company CEO's too.

For someone who occasionally posts how they don’t like Trump, you sure fall in line to defend his policies

Cutting back on government is good. Bill Clinton will confirm.

Clinton did it through Congress and created a surplus. 
 

Trump’s budget increases the defect by $4 trillion

And you whine about a 10% rollback. BFD. It will NEVER be felt in the real world. Not trying to get you to not fret about it and believe otherwise. Let me know if any weather calamities occur that haven’t been forewarned by the remaining 90% of employees.

“It will never be felt in the real world” 

 

They literally cancelled the fall training session because of the budget cuts lmfao

Media Makes Jaw-Dropping Admission About Fear of Tariffs As Trump Polls Start to Rise Again

Nick Arama

 

 

Remember how we were told the economy would blow up with President Donald Trump's tariff efforts? 

 

But then we saw deals with the U.K. and China. The Trump team was finally able to get China to the table on trade, which is a pretty amazing result. 

 

The April inflation number was, again, less than expected, the lowest in four years. Grocery prices also had the biggest decline in five years. 

 

Now, the media is admitting something that's patently obvious, at least right now: what we were being told just hasn't come to pass. 

 

Axios was out with a story on Thursday titled, "Hard data suggests tariff-driven inflation and recession fears may be overblown." They note that with April numbers in, none of the things warned about have come to pass. Not only are retail sales steady, but even wholesale prices have dropped:

Politico and Axios both having admit Trump fears were, once again, overblown by the media.

 

Exhausting. 
 

If not for all the fear-mongering on the tariffs, who knows where Trump’s polling would be, because he’s pretty strong right now on everything else. 
 

And Dems know it, which is why we have to deal with this idiotic Qatari airplane leading the A-bloc on these low grade propaganda shows. 

[B-Man]

 

 

Opinions on tariffs aside, the framing of these stories is interesting to me.

Under the Biden inflation, media painted corporations as greedy and

needlessly raising prices to gouge consumers.

 

Now they are portrayed as helpless victims just trying to survive.
