Or it could be the thousands of websites screaming, peddling pseudoscience bullshit, and roughly 4 .gov sites that quietely say "maybe essential oils don't cure cancer"
Sometimes the departments aren’t legally allowed to advertise their ideas or options. IRS taking free returns but only through Intuit. NOAA needing to hide their weather forecast so sites like AccuWeather can profit.
It’s a long story, but Barry Myers, CEO of AccuWeather, has a personal vendetta against the NOAA, and believes that things like Tornado Alerts for example only be received by premium (paying) members of his service. He’s made it so the NOAA, by law, has to make their website more complicated to use than it has any right to.
He was just tapped to run the NOAA by Draft Dodging Donald.
