This is really stupid, and itâs not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a ânimbler approachâ and âsmart lifecycle management,â which is fancy nonsense for âwe shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.â There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

This happened outside the detention center facility at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey.
Americans no longer have any rights. We are at a point of no return.

You know what to do âŒïž
Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.
âAND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTHâŠâ
Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.
This Australianâs response to Trumpâs rant that âNATO does nothing for Americaâ is absolutely devastating:
âMate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults canât cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them havenât even been convicted of anything.
Theyâre simply too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. Youâre the only developed nation where thatâs happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cubaâs.
Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasnât changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal â found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban â is thanking you for yet another disaster.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.
âNATO wasnât there when we needed them.â
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.
Australia wasnât even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.
And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.
You donât care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you havenât shown it a single ounce of sympathy.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?â
@mhdksafa That's why they're poisoning our food, water, Chemtrails, endless scrolling, celebrity envy, racism, class warfare, etc....keeps us all docile and asleep. This is why Black people created the term WOKE. To be aware, to unplug from the programming. Wake Up!
Rep Ann Johnson (D-TX) on Republicans mid-decade redistricting in Texas.. âYou shield your racism with party, the root of all of this is about racism and power, a power grab, a pure power grab.â To my fellow white folks this is how we all need to be talking about this. đŻđŻđŻ
@mmpadellan@charise_lee I wish Massie would just do it and not talk about doing it. How many have come before who telegraphed what they were going to do only to have an accident, drug overdose, heart attack, etc. I hope he starts soon.
Wealthy white guy who benefitted directly from primarily black men manning the most dangerous positions so he could make millions kicking a football has no problem with white QB backing a racist, fascist, criminal scumbag but the black guy is the problem. MAGA is systemic racism
@XMenUpdate@NexusPointNews Beau DeMayo fired, and now the X-Men look like ass. I hope this isn't a preview of things to come in season 2. He had Storm perfect, and then they f'd it up
@rog9544@Chase_Senior Odd and revealing to give credit to the WR for having 1k yds but not the QB who threw it to him. And Devonta also had 1k yds, but I guess the RB should get credit for that?? Bad OC w/ bad system & playcalling = O not looking good & QB losing confidence in OC.
@RealMamaEagle For those not understanding, by putting out these stories about AJ, she could've been driving AJ's price down making it an easier trade for the Pats. If turmoil is perceived and public, athletes get less expensive to trade not more. It's business.
@darth_wager@yokester35@StartMcBride@AdamSchefter I guess you weren't around when Jalen took the team to the SB 2 years prior, finishing as an all-pro, all without Saquon. But sure, you make a strong point. He's not very good.
