Putting AI development under the oversight of the NSA and CIA seems like a bad idea. Which is what would happen were we to "nationalize it".
Our elected officials know nothing about AI and would be forced to resort to the few government agencies that might have understanding.

Cars absolutely are a part of emergency kit. When you need to pack up and leave home to get to a shelter or rally point, your car is the first option. It might not be the BEST option (due to all the other people in their cars doing the same thing at the same time) but that's a different issue.

Expecting that everyone have a hand-cranked anything on hand is ludicrous. Everyone in the US has access to a car (usually), which is why putting AM radios in them assures that people will actually have radio access in time of need.

Clear Channel (and Sinclair) snapped up struggling stations nobody else wanted. Maybe take a hard look at the reason why people sold out?

Nobody's gaining marketshare from automobiles continuing to have AM radios in them. Even conservative talkers are going the hybrid podcast route. Savage and Shapiro basically dumped their AM broadcasts.
