      The full Senate never voted on President Donald Trump's embattled NOAA pick, even though a split Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee sent his nomination to the floor three times in party-line decisions."

The fact some people are even TRYING to make it so you have to pay for something like, say, a tornado warning, is absolutely horrifying and deeply infuriating. Weather data and warnings should be FREE TO THE PUBLIC, END of discussion. That is NOT something that should be warped into something to be a profit off of. -_-

What Accuweather wants to do is put the NOAA weather models and radar data behind paywalls, so only the big private corporations like Weather Channel, cable networks like NBC and Fox and Accuweather can afford the data. Weather enthusiasts, storm chasers, scientists, and scholars will no longer have free and easy access to this data, which means you will put your trust in large corporations to provide an accurate and clear forecast (which won't happen because every company will create their own warning system and create trademarks and copyrights for their weather, and have to pay for the premium data plans they create.

But I should note and Midwest/Middle East refers only to the northern half of the hemisphere. So the Midwest ends up being the states roughly in the center of the US (including Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and a few other surrounding states) and the Middle East ends up being where western Asia meets Africa (although realistically the center of the eastern hemisphere is further east, kind of around western China, but I think the people who named it thought the dividing line between the western and eastern hemisphere was in the Atlantic ocean when really it's slightly to the east of Spain and England).

    Thank you, John Oliver, for roasting the man who asked me, in a job interview at Accuweather way back, if I was a 'republican', because 'it would be better if I was'. This, of course, was right after he asked if I wanted to also do the on camera weather, as with the new High Definition, their existing 'women' had too many skin imperfections to be on-camera.. as I interviewed for a position working as a meteorological programmer.. sooo needless to say I didn't take the job.

      Now I can't read minds, but I doubt he thinks this, as he used the word "currently" which indicates that he talks about the present which suggests that at other times there were also conflicts of interest, but back than it wasn't Trump putting corrupt people into office.

      "Not sure what that currently gibberish means"
      Ah than that explains how you didn't understand his comment.
      Currently means: "at the present time"
      So if he says something along the lines of [currently the conflict of interest starts from the top aka Trump appointing people who have a conflict of interest] then that means that at the present there are so many people in government with a conflict of interest cause Trump appoints people with a conflict of interest.
      I hope that helps. So he doesn't claim that Trump appointed Dick Cheney or somehow appointed people in the nixon administration as that would be pretty absurd as he wasn't in politics back that.
      (Btw the last part was brought to you by sarcasm. I know you didn't mean that but it is equally absurd as what you understood.
      He didn't write "conflict of interest started with trump" (as I guess that's what you somehow understood), but that [at the moment the conflict of interest is brought to you by Trump].

There arent many administrations in the US-history where you can say what he said with such certainity as with the actual administration. Stating this does by no means negate the fact, that a) corruption has always
      existed and b) people have always talked about corruption
      You in contrary are defending unspecified conspiracy theories which are (my assumption) unlikely to be favored here, but have never been part of any substantial critic of
      corruption, especially when we are talking about big corporations connected to the government. This was always the area of leftleaning critics (who, by the way, did talk alot
      about literally any case you mentioned). Who do you think was watching the daily show back then? Exactly, liberals and leftists or whoever is somewhat either one or other. And as for new and younger viewers, what do you expect from them?

      Thankfully we still have term limits. So even if he steals another 4 years...that's it.
