An internal memo reviewed by Grist showed the National Weather Service has stopped translating radio alerts in the southern region, a move that has enraged workers in the local offices.

It's so bleak watching entire demographics of people being more-or-less openly categorised as expendable. Alerts intended to spur action in response to an impending disaster should be available to as many people as possible.

Even a selection of generic translations with a time inserted would be better than this, and it's heartwrenching that they're not even willing to put that tiny amount of effort in.

Trump has said that his favorite president is Andrew Jackson… the dude who perpetrated the Trail of Tears…

AFAIK the alert voices, like the ones for the NOAA, were automated already.

And the dude who sold off federal lands to private interests which created a real estate bubble. The real estate bubble popped and then crashed the entire United States economy into an arguably just as bad (or maybe worse) Depression from 1837-1845. That decade was rife with boot boiling poverty and unemployment.

So basically hitting all the notes

Which is funny because Andrew Jackson would beat Trump to death with his bare hands.

This is how you know you're dealing with Nazis.
