Do the MAGAs comprehend yet that tRUmp and company will use every means at their disposal to insure that the maximum number of people will be dead or penniless so that trUmp and the benefactors can scoop up everything not nailed down, and so that he won’t have a “sad”.

THEY DO NOT CARE. Most of them are in a Cult - and there's no easy way for them to get out of it. Reasoning, self defeating views - it just doesn't matter to them more than their luv for the Dear Leader and his big F-U to virtually everyone else.

This 5 min Tik Tok pretty much explains it: https://tinyurl.com/22pulhpn

And learn to recognize and understand PROPAGANDA and MIND CONTROL. If you think it can’t also work on you then you’ve also been had. And that’s also what’s happening to them. A lot of them don’t even know this.

You guys are assholes. I am NOT a Trump supporter - I hate all politicians - but you are dehumanizing your fellow man instead of actually doing something positive about the situation we all find ourselves in and for the record, in the last four years, they all thought you guys were in a cult, and if you supported people having forced medical inoculations (still in a clinical trial phase that killed a lot of people), then I’m pretty sure you’re in a fucking cult too.

If we all live in Florida and have to deal with this shit then perhaps we can try to get along instead of playing these dumb shit games because if a hurricane destroys our lives is anybody going to give a shit?

You're 100% right that cultish behavior happens on all sides. We're all capable. And there's plenty to criticize about the COVID response, including possibly vaccine mandates and definitely keeping schools closed long beyond that being helpful. But, no, supporting COVID vaccination was not evidence of being in a cult. The best evidence showed and still shows the mRNA jabs were very effective against severe disease, were very safe (though absolutely no medical intervention is 100% safe), and saved a million or more American lives--and millions more abroad. The cohort of Americans that insists vaccines were deadly and that for months and years attributed every "died suddenly" to COVID vaccinations: now that was and is a kind of cult. And I realize that no amount of persuasion has ever or will ever help. In any case, reality doesn't care what anyone wants to be true. People who've been worried about global warming for decades have long known that.

Another example of ignorance over science, greed over public service. Thanks to Mr Lowry and his good service

Thank you, Michael, and not only has NOAA saved $5 billion per hurricane but the cost of human lives is now in grave jeopardy. This administration is morally outrageous.

America so glad but so sad that we had to flee Florida after Hurricane Ian in 2022. No we were on the east coast but we huddled in a manufactured house for 24 hours straight worried about being hit by tornadoes while one alert ⚠️ after another kept coming on the phone. We are now in Michigan far away from the oppressive heat, hurricanes and the high cost of living in the sunshine state. I am very worried for my friends and one son who still live in south Florida. What is this corrupt administration doing to America besides destroying everything possible. God help us.

This decision is pure insanity.

This genie must be put back in the bottle so that every precaution is afforded the residents in hurricane territory.

More money stolen from necessary programs for lining the pockets of those who already have more money than they can spend it 10 lifetimes. Greed knows no bounds.

Ty for the information, Mr. Lowry.

I'm speechless.

fits perfectly with my cynical view that once forecasts are eliminated, hurricanes and their damage can't occur, and with that the need for a robust FEMA response is no longer necessary — mission accomplished...

Trump's gotta have $500,000,000 to retrofit his one big beautiful plane gift from Qatar that he takes with him in 2029.
