    If they’re based in the US, they have to.

    The rest of the world doesn’t give a fuck about US executive order, so obviously life goes on and the places aren’t name changed in the real world.

    NWS probably has their hands tied. AccuWeather on the other hand is run by bootlickers. They’re deep enough in that sphere that Trump tried to put the CEO in as the head of NOAA during his first term. They’ve tried unsuccessfully lobbying to restrict NWS’s free forecasting (the one we all pay for) because it was interfering with their business model. I’ll leave the sexual harassment problems as an exercise for the reader. These are shitheads who were shitheads long before this. Don’t use that service.

      My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale.
      Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.
      But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.

    America is full of cunts and cowards too afraid to stand up against a pedophile.

      Spoken like someone who has absolutely no idea what it’s like to try and organize people scattered across a fucking continent.

      Specifically a continent with very poor access to public services that would make organization easier.

      A continent where even speaking out can cost your your job and therefore Healthcare.

      A continent where your neighbor might be someone who agrees with you, or they might blow your head off because they thought you might vote for a lefty.

      A continent where the government has already threatened to murder any citizen they want just for fighting back against their authoritarian boot. A continent where your closest regional capital might be hours away.

      My state is larger than most European countries. The logistics of organizing real action on this scale is insane. And a lot of very rich people have spent a lot of money for a very long time to make sure it’s as hard to do anything about their tyrannical bullshit as possible.

      The best most of us can do is vote, try and organize like-minded people locally, and survive the next week.

      I have the power to vote, sign petitions, go to protests. I’m too poor to donate money. That is the extent of my power. Trillionaires run everything and have all the power, and guns. I stick to my liberal, socialist beliefs and do my best to help everyone I can. What is it you want me to do?
