2. I've heard the corporate world hires the top meteorologists

And the rest are on TV giving flawed forecasts.
That was a generalization, and an attempt at humor.

But it's partly true. And many good ones work for the government, part of the national weather service. So privatize that and generate all kinds of income and grift, while controlling the narrative? Rethugs are anti science but pro any business opportunity, also chaos agents.

The major corporations already rely on weather forecasts to control power and fuel supplies and prices, as well as production and marketing items needed when the weather is extreme.
