    Funny, I remember when public warnings were broadcast on public broadcast systems and didn’t cost individuals an out-of-pocket expense to be warned they might fucking die.

    Capitalism is eating itself, it’s become an Ouroboros.

      They still are. But most people choose not to own or regularly use broadcast television these days so it’s not that useful. You can still buy an emergency radio.
