Your hero caused the market to take a big dump and people to lose thousands.

Own it.

In my career have done projects with phd physical oceanographers from Woods Hole (mostly), Scripps, Naval Research Lab and NOAA among others. Am always curious how they answer this question: What is more difficult predictively, physical oceanography or atmospheric physics? To a man they say atmospheric physics i.e. meteorologists.

Get a phd in that discipline and get back to us with your thoughts. Or, just buy a Farmer's Almanac.

was people in Alabama about a month ago during the severe weather outbreak we had on a Saturday. People were bitching that “it didn’t even come close to me” but 16 or so tornados hit the ground. Like sorry Karen, it didn’t come right through Bluff Park or Greystone but there was a lot of damage in and around the Birmingham area.


All of that might be true for that part of the state. But local guys down in south Alabama were acting like the end of the world was coming and we didn’t get jack shite. It happens all the time. They hype up events and call warnings for radar signatures with debris fields that don’t even knock trash cans over. They are the boy who cried wolf at this point.

why not add presidents, media, scientists, doctors, politicians, etc.?

If there is a debris signature on radar, then a tornado is occurring. Why wouldn’t the National Weather Service issue a tornado warning if they have proof that a tornado is occurring?

The market continued to tank as economists predicted. As anyone with a brain predicted.

Politards are strange


For real. They want their guy to be right so bad they just ignore literal facts or claim already proven facts are wrong. There’s just no arguing with these idiots. And the other side isn’t much better. They don’t get let off the hook because they are allowing this shitshow to continue with barely a fight.

People have been waiting for a correction for years. No one knows exactly why the market is shitting itself.

I'm old enough to recall the NBC News economic reports by Irving R. Levine. Every report from Levine was negative because he would only focus on the negative side of every transaction. It was all about what was given up while ignoring what was gained. Irving was TV's biggest bitch.

meteorologists?


meteorology has come a long way in the last 30-40 years. I think the 4 day forecast is now as accurate as the 1 day forecast 40 years ago. We are actually just technology limited for weather forecasting because of the compute power that is needed.

Meteorologists don't pretend to be authorities. They know their work is largely educated guessing.

Economists pretend they are authorities speaking divine truth and they don't know shite.
