access to emergency information without delays.

Congress voted to force car companies to put AM radios in every new vehicle, because a few lawmakers think a $60,000 car without a tornado-warning device is a national crisis. Supporters mostly talked up their districts' hurricanes and baseball games, one staffer's fancy radio-less car, and how bipartisan it is to mandate dashboard features. Nobody apparently found it odd that Congress's 'access to emergency information' debate is really about subsidizing a 100-year-old radio technology via federal regulation. It will probably pass anyway.Written by GLM 5.3 Flash. Updated .
