Is it ungraceful to point out that mindless political zealotry costs you the debate at least and people's lives at worst? I think it's constructive if anything.

Why not NOAA? Because existing signage is already in place for the current spectrum arrangement.
Now we have to replace signage across 50 states? No thanks. I don't listen to AM radio. You don't either.
Why do you care?
- unethical_ban 2y agoI don't care, and if I were in Congress I'd lean toward keeping AM in vehicles unless the carmakers proved it to be too costly a burden (though the government imposes plenty of costs onto new vehicles already). Calling someone skeptical of Republican motives a mindless zealot is... Zealous. If it were midnight and a Republican told me the sky was dark, I wouldn't say it's bright out. But I'd take a peek to check. There is not good faith to be had with that party.
- trimethylpurine 2y agoNothing in the commenter's take was skeptical of anything. It is literally a baseless accusation of conspiracy that even if true ignores the value of human life. Skepticism is fine. Killing people because you "doubt the other party" has no place in society. That kind of decision making, that ignores safety, should more rightly be met with jail time, not leadership in a democracy. Thankfully for the rest of us, both parties can see that.
