You can plan when you might be driving out of cell phone, FM, whatever, range. People don't wake up in the morning planning to get into a head-on collision. How many Americans died because they didn't have an AM radio last year? Because about 20-30,000 died in collisions.

Man, this side you're ignorantly digging in on really seats you on the side with people who want to demolish all the safety regulations that took decades to claw out. What are you even doing right now. Wild fires & weather events are NOT going to be getting any better, my friend.

I very clearly am in favor of seatbelts and airbags though. Don't you think you're being a tad histrionic? But let's back up. This whole conversation got started because I was suggesting alternatives to "ban Fox News" that would actually be legal/constitutional.

And in doing so suggested relaxing/removing a safety feature - which you are rightfully being dragged for.
