Big Island Organizations & Programs Losing Funding

[HiloJulie]

Paybacks have only just begun.

Got to give credit where credit is due. 

The Tang was right.

Laying off the early warning weather staff is a "justified" payback - and they've "only just begun." This will show us!

I suddenly can't shake the most beautiful voice of Karen Carpenter singing "We've Only Just Begun"

(I'd put up a YT video of Karen and Richard, but I guess the PunaWeb blocking feature is too inefficient and triggers some to complain about it. Relentlessly. Ad nauseam.)

ETA: But I will put up this CNN Link:

NOAA layoffs: How Americans will feel the impact of Trump’s weather forecasting layoffs | CNN

Clipped from link:

CNN previously reported the terminations seemed to have been done in a way to minimize a paper trail, leaving it difficult for employee organizations and even direct supervisors to know who was fired and when.

The cuts were made, with few exceptions, to probationary employees in job functions across the board, and included forecasters who issue life-saving warnings to the public for tornadoes, hurricanes and other extreme weather threats — the same warnings that feed the alerts you receive on your weather app of-choice.

Yeah! That sweet "payback!"
