NOAA's bloated bureaucracy needs a reality check.
Look at the numbers: $6.9 billion budget, with $126 million wasted on "environmental justice" grants while core weather services struggle.
The solution?
Targeted 20% workforce reduction—2,300 positions—focusing on redundant roles, not essential forecasters.
Critics claim this threatens public safety.
Facts tell a different story.
Lead meteorologists stay.
Critical hurricane tracking continues.
Modern tech and AI fill efficiency gaps.
This isn't about cutting muscle—it's about eliminating waste.
Every removed position follows federal efficiency standards.
Every dollar saved goes back to NOAA's mission: protecting communities with accurate forecasts.
Bureaucratic bloat doesn't make storms more predictable. Smart reforms and focused resources do.
When lives depend on accurate weather data, there's no room for mission creep.
