@superflippy@mastodon.xyz thanks for sharing a link around the pay wall.
Any governing body being anti-science has always been a massive red flag for me. Glad to see such a simple test still works.
At the same time I have to wonder what the real motivation is. For the USA the reported budget is a rounding error. Why is the American government trying to ensure that the data cannot be collected by going so far as to remove the instrumentation completely? Are thousands of bald eagles flying into them every year?

@securedllama@infosec.exchange I suspect they don’t want them collecting climate data. But these stations are used for so much! They monitor salinity, ocean temperature, wind speed and direction, all vital to hurricane forecasting and boats.
