Don't the rich get cancer and extreme weather events? [View all]

We have no idea

I simply do not understand defunding scientific research and accurate weather prediction. Don’t billionaires get cancer and aren’t they subjected to the same extreme weather events as the rest of us?

Applegrove:

It is about monetizing information. The rich can afford healthcare. The poor not. They get good treatment. The poor get bad. And what is treatment if not information. The rich can afford data on what real estate will face extreme weather events and avoid it. The middle class and poor cannot afford to study where extreme climate change induced events will occur. MAGA is getting rid of public government agencies that study climate or weather, or downsizing them.
