Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Coming from a former public employee for the state of Wisconsin, and as a current bargaining committee member that just achieved a first contract in my current workplace, I am so excited for the improved working conditions that will come. The state motto is “Forward” May they never go back!
