Weather Service faces Internet bandwidth shortage, proposes limiting key data

Simply get rid of the gigabytes of JavaScript and stupidly designed crap
and hire someone who knows what they are doing and a bandwidth DOWNGRADE
will be in order.  The root cause is incompetence and it can be fixed by
getting rid of all the children and hiring someone who knows what they
are doing.
