      We alllll use NOAA to get our weather. That’s what every weather forcaster uses. Even in Canada a lot of our data is from NOAA. Environment Canada has their own data but it’s pretty shit in comparison.

          If Trump wins I’m afraid more people will be saying this more often about more services.

            Its a classic republican tactic to claim the government is useless and needs to be replaced, then cut funding so the government can’t do its job, then use that as proof that they were right to cut funding.

          Shades of “Who would have thought healthcare was so complicated?” No offense. There are so many basic services people just don’t think about.

            Wished american services and government functions are course(s) taught in middle and high school. It’s a huge shame that almost no knows how the government works in detail, including me, as I have to learn as I go.

        In the Dominican Republic, many people, myself included rely on it to track hurricanes so we don’t die.

      A lot of the “private sector” weather services just scrape NOAA or other public-sector data and apply some branding to it.
