>This is one I don't really understand why the change would be a huge deal in context This is likely because you don't use the weather reports for anything of value/importance in your daily life - there are other professions / government departments / etc that DO use these reports and require them for safety reasons. Just for a quick example anyone involved in aviation.

NOAA is a military agency. It is not civilian, like VA, ICE, or Dept of State. Weather provided realtime marine, atmospheric, and solar weather to better equip theatres of war and aid. Without weather, soldiers conducting defense, offense, or aid operations have that much less intel on making decisions. The side effect is less climate change and national weather reporting. If anything, the stripping down soft power, intelligence, science, and everything seems like a plan to turn us into a 3rd world kleptocratic kakistocracy. Then again, capitalism has went from innovation and creation, to extraction and worsening. Maybe its time to let China take the reins and show what socialism can accomplish. If the videos on Xiao Hong Shu (rednote) are any indication, they're doing absolutely superbly.

  NOAA is under the Chamber of Commerce. The military has their own meteorological capabilities from what I understand, though they may also use NOAA data. I don’t know how you mean that NOAA is a military agency, as they are not in the chain of command of any military agency or group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Oceanic_and_Atmospheric_Administration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Oceanic_and_Atmospher... Even their officers are not armed services, though they do receive a commission. I think you might be thinking of something that I haven’t seen or heard about, so please let me know if I am wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA_Commissioned_Officer_Corps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA_Commissioned_Officer_Corp...
