    If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few [COVID] cases, if any,

    Trump honestly believes that if you close your eyes it will go away. That or he just wants to stop providing evidence for his enemies (the American people).

      It’s an infantile lack of development and yet he is president of the US…the country known to put Karen’s on a pedestal.

      The weather has been so fucked lately it’s really hard to compare them. I see a spread of of over 10 degree differences between open meteo, Google, AccuWeather, and wunderground.

      Tomorrow AccuWeather says 78, OpenMeteo says 81, and Google says 74.

      I will say open source apps default to OpenMeteo, im not sure how to compare what a site predicts vs actual weather.

    (this is the goal).

    To sabotage every aspect of USA.

    Trump enriches himself and dodges prison; foreign adversaries get a leg-up.

    Someone should tell him that golf courses rely on weather forecasts to make the courses better and run them cheaper.

    Or, you know, impeach him…

    What the fuck hasn’t Trump and his administration set back at least a decade (before his reign of terror started)?

      at least a decade

      My trust in the american government and the us population as a whole…because I’ll never trust/like/respect either of these ever, ever again.

      (I appreciate that you said “at least” but to me that suggests there’s an option for a rethink in the future. However, nope, there’s no “at least” in all this, there is only never!)

      Which…face it, every gaslighting anti-scientific idiot and those with the engineer’s disease have had on their wish list for-fucking-ever. Since before “politically correct” morphed into “woke”.

      Some of them probably have a permanent erection after the dismantling of NREL and NCAR.

      They fucking hated it when those smarter than they are could point to things like government agencies tracking climate change. Now, they cannot. At least not in the USA. Guess we’ll have to rely on more advanced countries now.

      Since donnie dumbass and the conservative movement is hellbent on taking us backwards.

      The weather channel for my area a while back changed their icons, and the new ones are utterly useless samey shit. Can’t tell if its even forecast to rain now without sitting around for the verbal report, because the icon doesn’t really show rain (technically it does, but the drips look almost the same as the beams from the sun peaking out from the clouds, so best of luck if your eyes aren’t amazing or you don’t have time to study the pixels, especially on a smaller tv), so now its only good for clouds or no clouds, and the temp.

      So we really don’t even have a clue how badly wrong it is now. That’s fun. It feels really intentional, too, like the change happened shortly after the prior funding cut.

    Like it matters. It’s going to be scorching all the time soon anyway.
