I'm still struggling to find a time where AM radio is going to matter but FM isn't working. Quake, fire, then hurricane, all in a row? The only place I can find that is in a Puerto Rico hurricane, and FM was up 24 hours later. And I don't live in Puerto Rico. And I am not alone when I live in Hawaii or California. So no, I don't see much value in owning an AM radio during disasters (though I do have a few plug in ones), and I don't see value in requiring them in cars. I do think one of our cars has an AM radio in it.

The current DA is a half-wit piece of shit who let's criminals off with a slap on the wrist. That makes him 5000 times more effective and hardcore than the previous DA, but still useless for actually giving criminals what will deter their behavior, especially violent ones. Likely, it's the cleanup of the homeless, forcing them out into neighboring communities, that has lowered the crime.
What we really need to do is incarcerate the permanently homeless. Force them to work, even if it's weed-picking on chain gangs. Give them 3 squares, a bed, basic medical care, and options for job training and jobs instead of weeding. Transition the good ones to halfway homes with jobs, wherever they may be. Keep the rest locked up and working on chain gangs. The disabled ones can just watch TV all day instead of drinking and shitting in public.
