I mean NOAA, a primarily science-oriented agency, is literally under the purview of resident Commerce weasel-- excuse me, "secretary" Ross because of Nixon not liking someone's opinion of the Vietnam War becoming public. Not that being under the Dept. of the Interior or its own Dept. in this administration would make a difference, but in case anyone didn't know and was wondering why Wilbur Fucking Ross has any say in NOAA... It's thanks to the ego of the previous most notorious Crook-In-Chief being called out on his mistakes. The man who did so was Wally Hickel, a man Nixon made the mistake of hiring as Interior Secretary, apparently not realizing he actually had a beating human heart and a conscience when he appointed him.
