When you have an entire political movement like MAGA who has sneering contempt for experts who have spent decades in a profession - like weather forecasters - and the need for govt to use those experts to save lives, the results of that too often are that many people die.

America just has a Mad King now. He can announce tariffs on a whim and crash the economy. He can deploy the military against his own cities. He can start a war with no authorization. He's put a progression of dunces in charge of everything and nobody is doing anything meaningful to stop him. 😔
