it's a shame that we've so lost institutional knowledge that the public policy positions of something like the Pioneer Institute aren't understood as subtext when they sponsor something #MAEdu

this pull quote from the author of "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" really gets down to the crux of our era, which is that destroying a poor person's life is how the economy runs, but destroying a rich person's life is a sign of serious societal problems and concern.

Flood Watch was Thursday, July 3.
Many Texas state, county, & local pols/sheriffs/cops didn't bother to warn folks in flood zone.
Their negligence killed Texans.
And now they lie about NWS / NOAA to hide their deadly fails.
None of us should help their Big Lie.
NWS/NOAA succeeded.
Texas cops failed.

Flood Watch issued yesterday at 1:18 pm.
WPC had mesoscale discussions throughout the event.
NWS issues Flash Flood Warning at 1:14 am.
NWS issues Flash Flood Emergency at 4:03 am.
NWS was on the ball.
The challenge is always getting the warning the last mile and getting people to respond.

Everyone making comments about DOGE and FEMA as it relates to the Texas flooding is insulting to the NWS employees working this event that were well aware of how bad this was becoming. Plenty of opportunities to use those arguments elsewhere.
