Lol I shouldn't have clicked on that link, that shit really makes my blood boil.

I don't think most people realize how much free value they get out of NOAA weather predictions.

While I’d agree that accurate weather forecasts provide tremendous value, it’s not “free value”, as tax dollars are paying for it. That money could go to any number of ‘under-funded’ other causes, or be returned to the tax-payers.

A relief to know NOAA isn’t doing this pro bono, I was beginning to wonder whether they were simply donating forecasts.
