Accuweather is STRETCHING the truth

It's the same bill. Section 2(b) says "The Secretary of Commerce
shall not provide, or assist other entities in providing, a product
or service (other than a product or service described in subsection
(a)(1)) that is or could be provided by the private sector".
^^^^^^^^
This is incredibly broad language. By my reading, taken literaly, it
would prevent the Secretary of Commerce from providing any product or
service other than those specifically called out in subsection (a)(1)
since it is reasonable to expect that any product or service the
Commerce
Department is able to provide could be provided by the private sector.
