I think it’s both a pride thing for him plus a “ if we don’t see it or count it it doesn’t exist”. Much like the reporting if bird flu and COVID-19 numbers. So when big bad storms come you’ll have yo sign up for the premium weather alerts, but hey I’m just spitballing here.

No, it’s just where they had been headed before. There were no sensible options being considered.
