...i honestly think that having no official language has been far more benefit than detriment to the united states...

English speaking Americans probably won't get warned either because the govt organizations that monitor weather are being gutted by DOGE.

It's charming that they think people who speak English will be warned before weather disasters.

This is either going to get reversed when the rest of the Trump stuff gets thrown out, or else, much more likely, the NWS itself is going to have to shut down or get crippled as part of Trump's universal war on everything.
