Once Again, The Elites Are Thinking For Us: Weather Service Chose Not to Tell Us The Truth, Becaue We Is Too Stupid!

Ah...the joy of being treated like a simpleton who can't tie his own shoes and needs help crossing the street. Weather Service decided last minute not to cut snow forecast, because we are just too damned dense to process complex ideas like the amount of snowfall predicted by our betters in government.

I don't know about you folks, but if they had reduced the predicted snowfall amounts to the latest and most accurate estimate, I would have thrown my windows open and gone skinny dipping. Luckily my betters at the National Weather Service took care of that possibility.

I wonder whether those arrogant, elitist pricks realized that millions of people made decisions; financial, personal, and business decisions based on their predictions. And they were wrong, but in their hubris decided that we simply didn't have the capacity to change our behavior based on new information. Never mind that their forecasts were constantly changing, and the one thing they are supposedly good at, they got wrong!

So they don't have the scientific and intellectual competence to correctly predict the weather, but they do have the intelligence and wisdom to decide for us what to do?

Really?
