This is getting downvoted to hell, but it is fact. They're rehiring some and will be filling 125 positions with a request (that is likely to be granted) to hire quite a few more.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told a Senate hearing that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is "fully staffed" with weather forecasters and scientists after concerns were raised about some offices losing 24-hour staffing ahead of hurricane season.
"We are fully staffed with forecasters and scientists. Under no circumstances am I going to let public safety or public forecasting be touched," Lutnick told a Senate appropriations subcommittee overseeing NOAA, saying he got the National Weather Service (NWS) exempted from a federal hiring freeze.
Even if they are hiring as many as you say, they supposedly cut 600 jobs. 125 < 600
And its important to note who is crying about it.

It’s true that many of the public criticisms about the NWS and NOAA layoffs are coming from Democratic lawmakers and former officials—some of whom have also criticized Trump broadly.
And tboy is a liberal. So of course hes going to side with Amy Klobuchar.

Your slutty mother read it to me. Parts of it I couldn't understand because she is a committed dick sucker. She did damn fine job, though.
*If your mother has passed, my condolences. You can substitute your wife in that scenario.

So many people are on the government dole either directly or indirectly. I wonder how much of our GDP is actually just government spending.

At least now they have an excuse when their hurricane track is shite other than "weather stuff is really hard!".

Most of them depend on meteorological data collected by NOAA and NASA.

He’s lucky to even have a job in this day and age of artificial intelligence
Weathermen and radio DJs are at the top of the list of jobs most in danger of being eliminated

Good
Their budget is ridiculous, and tech advances have made a lot of ther "predictions" unnecessary.

Just because there were 600 people doesn't mean they NEED 600 people.
Its called efficiency and survival of the sharpest tools

Member last year when FEMA was exposed for intentionally avoiding hurricane relief efforts to “Trump neighborhoods” directly impacted by the storms? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
