Lemmy, how would you feel about a law that bans radio stations from playing commercials with honking/beeping/siren noises in them?

In America itโ€™s more likely that we ban the use of radios in cars

No, they'll make you pay a subscription for it.

๐Ÿ˜‚A scant $8.99/month for siren free radio ๐Ÿ˜†

That is, for about 2 years until they add the sirens back in and offer a $21.99/month ultra premium service with no siren sounds.

Free radio is now nothing but sirens and commercials 24/7

It's called SiriusXM and I hate it

I got SiriusXM for Opie and Anthony, then Ant was fired like 8 months later. I kept the subscription for another year or so. Now I just have a USB stick with all my music on it, but much to my wife's displeasure i only listen to one band.

On the handful of stations my wife listens to, they play the same handful of songs over and over again. It wouldn't take a large USB stick to get better content.

It's already illegal in the US.
