Problem is there is no money in this for the private market, so the government will have to pay 10x more to get a patchwork of private entities to do the work the government was already doing.

If we don't get these people out and revert all they did there won't be much of a future for this country that isn't becoming another failed economy with a few places being a little bit better than the others. The US will be a third world country soon.

I feel like there's important context here, such as this company was founded before Trump entered office, and the government weather balloons were so inefficient that a private company thought they could compete with free data.

Government weather data is exactly the kind of thing that should be private.
