Tragically,
One could say this validates en Jefe's charge about 'fools, adventurers, and pirates', something about purchasing one's own noose. On bright side, mentioned earlier, weather could be gov profit center; different rates for varying levels of alerts & wx services. Freed up 162 band used for digital traffic texting, tips on preserving storm-killed corpses until Huracan cleanup workers collect them - 'pack 'em in a lotta lime' - other 'services'.
The drift does seem to be toward pay-per-info controlled access subscriber systems in specific, and third-worldism in general. Why does NWS provide weather to public at all? Unfriendlies could use storm prognostications to reverse-engineer weather radar methods. A dread revelation.
