Two Midgets Get Together And Lie About NOAA and NWS.

This might be one of his more preposterous lies ever told. The idea that ANY government agency/program/initiative produces a 73x return on your money is laughable on its face. Government brings us Amtrak and the post office – NOT programs that pay off at 73-1. Most government programs are the other way around – spending $50 for $25 worth of benefits to the public.

As usual, there is no link to the “study” cited here.

So I went and found the study myself. Also as usual, reality is very different than these two midgets present it here.

The study is HERE – see pages ES-13 onward (section 1.7).

Here is how the description of their methodology starts:

To elicit the respondent’s value for current forecast information we implemented a contingent valuation method (CVM) question. We note here that the implementation of this question does not meet many of the standard guidelines for CVM studies. Given the limitations of this implementation we can most likely interpret responses as indications of the strength of preferences for current forecasts rather than a reasonably valid and reliable benefit estimate….

In layman’s terms: we just made up our own valuation method. In other words, we made all this shit up.

Essentially what they did is ask a bunch of people on the street how much they would pay every year to have accurate weather forecasts. That’s it.

That whole line of reasoning is moot. You know why? Because there are ALREADY a LOT of private weather forecasters who make a TON of money providing hyper-accurate and extremely localized weather forecasts. They are light years ahead of the federal government already. That’s because there is a HUGE profit motive to be the best and the most accurate.

Think of U.S. Post Office versus FedEx and you start to get the idea.

You know why that data is so valuable? Because if you are, for example, an orange juice futures trader or soybean trader and you have accurate weather data that is even 24 hours further out than everyone else, you can make a TON of money trading on that information. If you know there will be a hard freeze in Florida a few days before everyone else, you can load up on teeny calls and get rich.

You know who else would pay BIGLY to have accurate weather forecasts? The insurance industry. Those are just TWO quick examples of deep-pocket customers who are ALREADY going outside the government forecasts and using private weather companies.

Furthermore, the NWS is just a fraction of NOAA spending:

So even if you accept the premise of these two parasitic midgets that NWS is SUPER valuable and can’t be touched (I do not), that doesn’t mean we can’t take a chainsaw to the other $5.4 BILLION dollars NOAA is wasting on NGO scams and green energy grifts.

Here is yet ANOTHER little taste of what DOGE is finding in EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT they look at:

Stacy Abrams is a Grade-A moron who cannot even balance her own checkbook, as I’ve pointed out before:

Debt-Ridden, Obese Failure Stacey Abrams Panned By Democrats For ‘Incredibly Bad’ Financial Planning.

But these scumbag NGOs just dumped TWO BILLION into this clown’s account. Yeah, tell me that there is no fat to cut, Robert Reich.

Speaking of fat, Potato Head Fitzharris on the wrong side of everything AGAIN:

Well, I guess “smart” is relative. When you are Potato Head Fitzharris with an IQ of about 72, then Stacey Abrams with her 75 IQ looks “smart” to you.

Debt-Ridden, Obese Failure Stacey Abrams Panned By Democrats For ‘Incredibly Bad’ Financial Planning

I am shocked! Shocked, I tells ya! A fat moron with a history of being incapable of managing her own personal finances and getting herself into $200,000 of personal debt can’t handle her millions in campaign finances? The idiot who personally owes $54,000 in back taxes also bungled her campaign funds?

No way.

To wit:

Abrams was defeated by incumbent Republican Governor Brian Kemp in November even though she had a “record-setting haul” and was a media darling.

“But her campaign’s expenditures have come under sharper scrutiny as new details emerge about the tight cash crunch she faced before her November defeat to Kemp by nearly 8 points,” AJC reporter Greg Bluestein wrote.

According to Axios, “money became so tight that most of the 180 full-time staffers were given an abrupt paycheck cutoff date — just a week after the November election.”

Lauren Groh-Wargo, Abrams campaign manager, told Axios vendors are still owed more than $1 million and that the team is still working to repay debts. The outlets spoke with various insiders who “surfaced new details about profligate spending that led to a dire financial squeeze by the end of the campaign.”

According to Bluestei’s report, former staffers detailed over-the-top expenses, including a home the campaign rented to use for making TikTok videos.

“Some aides commandeered the vacant five-bedroom craftsman-style house, now available to rent at $12,500 a month, as a makeshift office,” Bluestein wrote. “A pop-up shop and ‘swag truck’ were assigned to dispense merchandise, such as T-shirts and hoodies, to win over young voters. But staffers grumbled that there was no apparent strategy behind the giveaways, which they said seemed careless and costly.”

Of course, there are still some people out there (**cough** Potato Head Stephanie Fitzharris ** cough **) who are THEMSELVES so dumb that they think Abrams is some kind of genius…

One obese moron admires another…MY GOD!

Speaking of Potato Head, how’s that AirBnB rental thing going for you? You applied for and got the necessary permits and paid the annual fees for running that thing, right?

It would be a shame if the Austin STR office (STRlicensing@austintexas.gov at 512 974-2000) found out about it and you didn’t have your paperwork in order. A real shame.

I certainly would NEVER alert them to your situation. Wink wink. That would be like, I don’t know, calling the cops over someone sending you a Christmas ornament or something. Dick move.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the housing market will totally come back next year and allow you (and 8,000 other suckers) to unload your home.
