I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

To add, “We agreed more or less on one universal language” is hogwash. English was forced on much of the globe by colonialism & unspeakable violence. Those same forces now making it “required” doesn’t mean it was universally agreed upon (it wasn’t). It’s an indictment of who gets counted as “we.”
