And car fuel price exploded. I think this is a far more likely correlation.

AM radios in cars only cover the small intersection of people who don't already have an emergency kit containing an AM radio, but do happen to be in a working vehicle during a disaster.
It's useless for anyone who's outside of a vehicle for whatever reason - eg vehicle is damaged, out of fuel, had to be abandoned, or was not available nearby when the disaster struck.

And what about people without a car?
Also if you've been forced to abandon your car due to the disaster, there goes your radio too since you can't easily remove it and wouldn't be able to operate it even if you could. A portable radio can be taken with you.

Depends on the nature of the disaster.
High winds can easily destroy solar panels.
Thick clouds will massively reduce the amount of power they can produce.
Thick smoke would be even worse.

AM radio has very poor audio quality, you wouldn't want to be listening to music that way.
And your problem is trying to stream. Modern phones can have more than a terabyte of capacity, more than enough to store anything you'd want to listen to at a reasonable quality level.

I don't believe teams has e2ee at all?
In any case you typically don't need or want that in a work environment. Encryption between client and server is enough, as the org controls the server and wants to be able to view/monitor communications between its employees.

Any company that was using something else before teams came along also complains bitterly about teams - it's different and in many ways inferior.
I know several places that switched from slack to teams, they all universally hate teams.
