I can't believe this new bill, it's called the Weather Act Reauthorization Act of 2025. This bill, it's supposed to reauthorize funding for weather research and forecasting programs. It's important because it helps improve our ability to predict severe weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes. But, I'm not sure if this bill is really necessary. I mean, do we really need to spend more money on weather research when there are so many other pressing issues facing our country? I just don't see how this bill is going to benefit me or my community. Who really benefits from this bill anyway?
