Again, not my words
THE DYING TIME BEGINS ANEW Get used to hearing: “We could have saved lives but chose not to.”
Radio Free Mars | Thaddeus Howze
Let me begin by saying this: I mourn the lives lost in last night’s tornado. Every one of them mattered. Every one of them might have been saved.
And now let me say what others won’t: these deaths were preventable. They are not merely the result of extreme weather — they are the consequence of deliberate political choices.
These are the wages of austerity, ignorance, and ideological sabotage. They are the first major fatalities caused by a weakened U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) and a gutted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — casualties of the so-called “government reduction program” pushed by Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the billionaire sycophants of deregulation.
Programs like DO(d)GE (the Department of Government Efficiency) don’t exist to improve public infrastructure. They exist to dismantle it.
These deaths are not accidents of nature. They are policy outcomes.
The same people who dismiss climate science and slash scientific budgets now preside over a system that can no longer protect its people. Tornadoes don’t wait for press conferences. Storms don’t care about polls. But they respond to physics, to data, and to warning systems that once worked — until they were stripped for parts.
We are entering an era where unpredictable devastation will be met with predictable silence. Where disasters will be followed by “thoughts and prayers,” but not by reform or funding. Where warnings come too late — if at all.
Let history record this moment.
Let it say: this was the storm that proved neglect can kill just as surely as wind. And let it also say: we were warned.
Brace yourselves: Summer will be a killing season. Extreme heat will affect hundreds of millions simultaneously.
Weather patterns will bring unprecedented rainfall and storm surges that overwhelm drainage systems and breach every failing levee and sewage pipe.
Windstorms, dust storms, haboobs, and tornadoes will sweep across entire regions, leaving wreckage and death in their wake.
From the over-warm Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, hurricanes of immense size and ferocity will rise — storms made monstrous by a superheated climate. They will carve deadly paths through coastal communities, and without early warnings, many will not escape.
We once had those warnings — timely, precise, and life-saving — issued by a well-funded, fully staffed National Weather Service.
Not anymore.
And when the storm passes, you may look for help — but FEMA will not be there in force. Fragmented and underfunded, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been hollowed out by the same policies that gutted science.
Every state will be left to fend for itself, with disaster response determined by political will and available funds. In many red states, that funding is nonexistent, and so is the will to prepare.
Policy will decide who lives. Policy will decide who dies. And most disturbingly: policy will decide who gets your home when you're gone.
If you think you’ll be made whole again, study your state’s insurance laws. Many of them will not work in your or your family’s favor when disaster strikes.
This isn’t just climate change. This is climate betrayal.
Welcome to "disaster capitalism" with you as the star. If you survive, the battle will have only just begun.

Remember, this guy is making money by declaring the world is on fire and will be destroyed by his enemies. This is all just theatrics.
The only thing more boundless than the stupidity of liberals, is their dishonesty.
Cuts made to bloated activist agencies two months ago? Clearly that causes a tornado within a few weeks. This is "we burned a goat instead of a sheep, we angered the gods!" levels of paganism here. They treat their anthropomorphized idea of a sentient female planet like it was a god.
It's literally a rain dance. No exaggeration, no hyperbole. They think we caused a tornado by not doing the song and dance.
Do they think no one was warned?
Clearly they don't understand how tornadoes work, they're not like hurricanes where they form off the coasts and take days to make landfall, usually giving people time to evacuate. Tornadoes just appear, first you get a tornado watch which just says "the conditions are right for a tornado to possibly form in the next four hours" then when one touches down you get a warning. By then it's probably too late if you're where it touched down.
Midwits are the worst type of people.
Midwits aren't dangerous if there aren't lizard people whispering nonsense in their ear.
So what are his thoughts on those in North Carolina that Biden and his admin did less than nothing about? I say "less than" because of how it came out later groups were actively avoiding houses with Trump campaign signs which meant it was an active choice to not give aid.
Because the other people totally did better when they were presiding over North Carolina after the hurricanes, or California after the fires, right?
Again, hurricanes in NC. Biden did fuck all.
NC! FEMA literally avoided certain houses!
Already happened with NC!
lol, again nothing new about this. Certain groups were left to fend for themselves, and then actively harassed when they tried just that. Remember the helicopter blowing away self stocked relief supplies? I wonder who would be getting all those Trump supporters houses afterwards...
Just like in California with the fires, right? RIGHT?!
This all of course coming from the same groups that were screaming Bloody Mary about everyone needing to get the covid shots that are continuing to be proven more than useless. The same groups that were salivating at the chances to act as commissars during lockdowns. That made social media groups such as HermanCainAwards to track people dying of supposed vaxx absense.

Herman Cain who had stage 4 cancer, remember.
Fuck this fuck and his scaremongering, may he forever step on Lego.
Only problem is that more and more don't care about climate. At least those in the 30-40 range.
Lets all cut our carbon footprint while China builds 50 new coal power plants and we need to make excuses for African countries or India because they are "developing" countries.
Either this is an emergency or it's just a show.
nearly all the pollution in the ocean comes from like 3 rivers, none of which a white man has any control over.
The Covid Lockdowns killed more people than they saved. Andrew Cuomo committed 43,000 counts of negligent homicide. Gretchen Whitmer committed 13,000.
You had a choice to save lives, but you wanted to make yourself feel good on Twitter so you butchered people, burned the constitution, demanded concentration camps, and made your own kids retarded. And that's before you jingoistically demanded a full scale war with Russia, and praised assassinations.
Fuck you.
What is this shit?
Are the faggots getting cutesy thinking their clever again?
They are suddenly talking about this specific weekend of tornadoes? There are tornadoes all the time, probably 1,000+ per year in the USA. I think Oklahoma had a record number in 2024 and I don't remember a bunch of politics about it. Big ones are common too, it's not like they are all little bits of light wind. I grew up with tornadoes, there's far more advance notice today that in years past.
I follow tornado coverage nationwide somewhat often. The chance of a tornado not being in a Tornado Watch (your cue to pay attention) is basically zero. Most receive a Tornado Warning early as well. The only excuse for "preventable" deaths is not paying attention. The rest are really just bad luck.
Hate the "every one of them mattered" shit too. That's just such a stupid rhetoric. That's not even from a perspective of race. Think about it, what even makes a life "matter." Does mine matter? Maybe to a handful of people. To the general populace? Why would it? It's just another stupid leftist term to feign sympathy for their preferred idols.
Love the passion(not really) but ooops

The place was staffed during the storm
Kek. They do their scheduling based on their own weather forecasts.
Seems a little odd to not staff overnight right until dawn at 7 am.
You'd think early morning in primetime for weather forecasting and broadcasting.
You'd think it would make more sense to leave a gap somewhere closer to 7 pm & 3 am.
Something tells me it's going to be more about how much extra someone might need paid during those hours.
Guess some people got to have something new to be angry about now that egg prices have gone down.
Billions of dollars wasted in the name of climate change didn’t prevent this. What difference would more money have made?
Why didn’t you prevent oh god of thunder?
Because fuck them.
