It’s ok because a for profit organization will step up right? Right???? /s
Even if the void does get filled it’s some corpos fucking wet dream. Would be stupid expensive and probably completely inaccurate
AccuWeather has been begging and lobbying for this for years. They are poised to profit from this.
Which is ridiculous. Their business was basically repackaging what the government was providing for free. They think it's better business to roll out a bespoke weather forecasting system that costs millions of dollars to maintain?
Libertarians really don't understand that the government is what enables them to do business. If you have to pay for all that stuff yourself you're going to spend a multiple of what you're currently paying in taxes.
