Yup! The very idea that we can know anything from gathering information is abhorrent to these people.

The only source of authority is "what I say right now". The end.

    Time to build a FOSS version and run our own hardware

    Sure, I'll just grab $368M from my couch cushions.

    Honestly, it would be cheaper and possibly easier to raise an army of protestors to physically stop the dismantling via direct action.

    I'm surprised farmers aren't up in arms about this. This is the exact data that goes into the weather models that they rely on.

    Is it going to rain much this season? Who TF knows! Trump removed all the sensors!

    You don't get it - since I don't personally understand where that weather information comes from, it is both easy to get and is magic and comes for free from nowhere. It can't be expensive or hard to get because I get it for free on the internet.

    We already have crappy daily weather reporting. That’s not bad enough? (No, no it’s not.)
