In situations like this I feel that it is important to put a face to a name.
AccuWeather, a corporation like any other is made of people. These shortsighted decisions and shitty behavior are directly attributable to people who do them for selfish reasons.
So let's start talking about these people in the first person, not in the abstract.
Who is directly responsible for these atrocious actions and why do they stand to benefit from them?

Here are two: Rick Santorum and Jim Bridenstine. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/06/09/congress-is-considering-privatizing-key-roles-of-the-weather-service-thats-a-mistake/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/...
- b112 2y agoThis same junk happens in Canada. Attempts to disrupt pages like this: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-118_metric_e.html https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-118_metric_e.html and any info from Environment Canada, being packaged in a way that might compete, with the very same people using Environment Canada's free data for-profit. Cries of "How can the Government compete with the private sector" are thrown around, always glossing over how that very data is often sourced from the Government. Pathetic. Leeches of the worst kind.
