God damnit. if you understand anything about our global weather observation network you know that if America privatizes the entire world will have way way less accurate weather no matter what anyone pays.

the only reason things work so well now is because the whole world openly and freely shares all of this data. this is important because all of the world's weather patterns effect each other. there's only so much data that can be collected without being in the territory as well. so much of the world'd infrastructure relies on this information being available and accurate. privatizing it would surely be massively profitable and horribly detrimental to everyone and everything. it's one of the very few actually decent cooporative things humanity has ever done. of course rich bullies want to come and stomp it out.
