What if? It's the basis of many stories. We ask. We ponder. We wonder.
On Tuesdays I throw one out there. What if? It may be speculative. It may stem from something I see. It may be something I pull from the news.
Make of it what you will. If a for instance is not specified, interpret that instance as you wish. And if the idea turns into a story, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements 😉
Yes, a "what if?". But still a rant.

Sadly, this may happen. It's in Project 2025 to disband NOAA, and that includes the National Weather Service. They want to privatize it, which means that people would have to pay to access their findings. What happens to our weather apps then?
I think most of us would pay a reasonable fee. But weather is always news, so I doubt we’d have to pay …
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much this would impact The Weather Channel. And it would impact farmers and others who...well, never mind.
