i just think that if you get a radio then you get the radio content for free. that's the radio deal: you buy radio receiver, you can listen to radio broadcasts for free thereafter. we lost this one with TV and i'm still mad about it. digital broadcasts blah blah whatever all that means is for me that it's increasingly impossible to get a cheap antenna & pick up the local stations, which is trashass garbage. you bought the TV, the TV broadcasts oughta be free, i don't give a fuck if mr. nielsen has his ratings. don't get me started on streaming

#OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD #feels related to the whole ebook 'licensing' garbage but perhaps i am just grouchy & clueless #everyone feels compelled to talk about FCC balanced broadcasting & i get it i get it #but what about Broadcasts Is Free. i think this is also an important ethic #actually while i am yell about FCC wtf is up with 5G #why did we start selling frequency bands that conflict with altimeters & interfere with weather forecasting #i love the erate program ok i am all for it but why couldn't we just have an industry tax & subsidize library broadband with that #i KNOW why. but why
