Major cuts to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
Covers the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre, and Storm Prediction Centre, among other things.
100 percent of US weather forecasting information in all media comes from their data, for free. Musk wants it privatised.
So the tornado and hurricane, flood, blizzard, and fire warnings that all Americans get for free will probably require paid subscriptions in the future. For compromised data that won’t be allowed to talk about climate change.
People die. You can’t save them all.
Especially those who were likely to die anyway.
If you read the report in the countries that locked down hard there were above average deaths for 21 and 22 for many reasons. People were going to die.
You conveniently left out the bit about the countries that did not lock down hard had much higher deaths earlier and lives were saved the other way by not overwhelming the system and medicine. Oh and the little tidbit about the majority of countries staying somewhat open had high levels of civic/social responsibility, amongst some other reasons.
Don’t think you understand that last sentence fully and it’s not the triumphant position you are making out.
@The_Ant I think that as you don’t want to discuss opinions and possibilities that you should leave the thread and return in 4 years time to discuss outcomes. (Only my opinion of course)
