Which just sounds like an even bigger hassle for RMM on Macs, which already sucks. I don't need endpoints requesting permission to run a backup or start the EDR.
So, I'm hoping I'm wrong.

"Americans have no idea who's looking at that information, or why it has to be collected in the first place," U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday, adding "They deserve to know."
You know what Americans also deserve to know, oh exalted lawmaker of yore? Why the fuck you're pretending Mass Surveillance just fell off the back of the Flock truck when you've been around long enough to have voted for Clipper Chip kickbacks in your 401k and name your grandkids Prism and Orwell.
There's a difference between a Politician and a Representative. If you cannot uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect the very citizenry you're elected to Represent, then you are in the wrong as a lawmaker. You should not hold that title or power. You should be fired permanently. Because those enforcements Will Not Be Infringed.
At some point voters will either remember they hold the power to fix this problem, or they will lose that power. Forever.

Shinyhunters is an AI masquerading as a teen. Do you want to change your answer?
As "a teen"? The funny thing about stupid people (such as yourself) is that when you post bullshit it is so easily verifiable as such. Even if it was AI, there have already been multiple members of ShinyHunters arrested around the world, some of which admitted to being members of the group, and who thus far have not been teens.
I do want to change my answer:
Before: Fuck all the way off with your crime excusing bullshit.
After: Fuck all the way off with your crime excusing bullshit and be less of a retard.

You are arguing on the level of "you are holding it wrong". Pathetic and marks you as not very smart. Which, incidentally, makes you the primary LLM target group.

Most people nowadays don't own any kind of radio besides what is in their car.
What people do is irrelevant. Emergency preparedness should be taught, and not fostered on people in a completely insufficient way that may actually get them killed. Heck this could work against actual emergency response by teaching the people who have no forethought "Oh I have a car which does AM, I don't need this."
Most houses lack the legal minimum number of smoke detectors. We need to educate rather than accept societies

You claim cars are superior while also writing about your car's poor reception. Cars have had horrendous reception compared to basic portables for about 25 years now thanks to sleek hidden antenna designs not at all tuned for AM. Precisely no one is mandating a wire wound dual band MW antenna here. Combined with the high frequency electronics of an EV and you're lucky to pickup anything at all. On the flip side your portable allows you to step outside of the car and actually get reception.
Also you're conflating an emergency plan with a nice to have. A working phone is also useful in an emergency. That doesn't mean there should be any consideration to having this be part of your plan or codified in any law.
That is short sighted for someone calling someone short sighted who thinks the other person is short sighted.

I too am trained in emergency response dumb-arse. When I worked for SES I saw precisely the things I listed as references.
I LOVE this. Yet another Slashdotter doesn't bother to do basic research and picks a side based on what they think someone's qualifications are without question. And on the internet no less.
You know what, I'll speak your languge: I'm not trained in emergency response. I am the king. I rule you. Now listen to me. Does that make me more authorative than the OP? Maybe now you will think about what I wrote and do some research instead of blindly picking who your favourite Slashdotter is.

How local are we talking? Are you saying that a branch of a supermarket in one city should be open at a different time to another? And are we talking only shops that interact with local customers, or ones that require on upstream interstate trade?
To be clear, everything eventually gets solved, but the solution is to eventually settle on the time scale we have now. Schools, businesses, banks, supermarkets, late night bodegas, they didn't all get created by decree, they naturally evolved to where we were on a societal level, and that's why I'm suggesting it's not possible to change something on a local level. Society synchronises to itself.
