I hate to say this, but you are very wrong about AM radio. VHF, UHF, and Satellite can all be rendered useless. There was infrastructure put in place for AM Broadcast for the emergency broadcast system. AM Radios being widespread and easily accessed by the masses allows for important information to be sent out en masse.

As a ham myself, I am somewhat disappointed in what you have stated.

Seems that we already discussed this a while back.

Religions have beliefs, science has facts. The article mentions "mainstream scientific belief.". This raises a red flag for me personally and even I wouldn't go along with a belief, but I will agree with facts.

What USA Today fails to point out is that most boomers were out of the house at 18 either learned a trade or finished college in four years. Millenials are living in their parents basements until they are nearly 30 and thanks to greedy colleges, it's taking more than 4 years to complete a degree. You can't start a race late and then complain that those who started earlier are ahead of you.

but where it happens is just relocated.

Mining materials for batteries = pollution
The manufacturing of batteries = pollution
Recharging those batteries from the grid = pollution
Old non-recyclable batteries = pollution

I am not sure why people don't get this. I guess as long as they don't see the pollution in their back yard, they don't think it exists.

I think they'd be better off converting the buses to run on LNG or some other alternative fuel that has lower emissions.

I will add, according to Wikipedia, and other references, the use of the singular "they" has been around for several centuries.

Hallstedt is indeed a singular reference, but as I discussed elsewhere, gender specific pronouns are no longer politically correct, and since the language has no gender neutral singular alternatives other than the word "it", the words "they" and "their" are being used.

In this day of political correct verbiage, one is not allowed to use gender specific terms such as he, him, her and she. The English language currently has no other alternatives for singular references other than "it", so they and their has come in to use. I myself cringe when I see it used and hate that I am forced to employ that usage, but there are no real alternatives unless one was to get overly wordy in describing an individual.

A long time ago when they sold out.

There have been many instances of technology outpacing the laws so I really doubt there were any laws on the books that would cover something like this. Here is an interesting article.

You my friend are my hero.

I though the same thing. Linux and Windows were well established when OS/2 came out. I am not sure what the writer was smoking, and am finding myself questioning the general knowledge of the individual as well.
