The current administration is not merely racists, autocratic, and hell bent on insuring all wealth is held by the oligarch class,

it is also engaged in the most venal, short-sighted, and destructive assault on the basic functions of governance and civil society I can imagine.

I don't care what one's view is on the appropriate scale and role of federal governance, some operations are best and only accomplished at that level,

and this short of bullshit is not just a disservice to, it is an attack on the citizenry.

Destroying federal governance seems on point for people who read Yarvin and want to rule feudal micro-states as techno-kings.

I guess they see themselves as high officers in those states. I fail to understand how someone could read about living in a dictatorship and go "yeah, I would like to live like that"

>NOAA was caught using data from weather stations with faulty equipment and positioned next to new heat sources and only moved to correct the issue when confronted so I'd say this is entirely justified. The first step in any scientific process is clean data.

Assuming this uncited assertion is true, why would it be "entirely justified" to simply remove it without any particular reason as to why, nor discussion around the concern over data accuracy? Seems to me that the scientific community would be better served with an open dialogue rather than mute removal.
