It’s completely fucking bonkers NOAA is an amazing organization and delivers so much value on such a small budget.
This is exactly why they need to destroy it, the “free” market can’t compete with the economic efficiency of a well run government program
Are there any real private competitors though? The work that NOAA does is only valuable because of the extreme scale it’s carried out by and replicating that would be quite expensive.

replicating that would be quite expensive.

Indeed. But; If you can eradicate the free market first, the private market can take over and use high running/development costs to justify high access fees.
