Whats the point then?? howard stern's show was only available on there, and that's what kept them alive for a long time now i suppose a much larger station selection than am/fm radio would be the selling point

I pay for it because I live somewhere with extremely spotty FM reception and go through areas with bad cell service. It’s convenient having the same reception throughout the lower 48. As far as tra...

@☢️ :jhg_s: :jhg_n: :jhg_e: :jhg_e: :jhg_d: :denton_laugh: @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I find that the SiriusXM cuts out worse than the regular radio, but you know what's funny about that? It always cuts out on the same exact places, and not even under any bridges or anything. This is how I know it's all ground-based, there is far less infrastructure than FM or AM, but it's ground-based nonetheless.

iirc there is a satellite involved, but the satellite(s) beam a signal down to ground stations to get repeated

I guess I have to drive around in airplane mode to not be tracked.

This makes me wonder... when you buy a new car they always give you a month of SiriusXM radio for free.

The company links my name to my vehicle and sends a signal to it...

I can't imagine this company makes any money either, does anyone actually pay for that garbage?

How are the actually funded?

"We need the immigrants to do the jobs that we don't want to do."

That has to be one of the most boomer lines I have heard yet.

Let me translate: "We can't pay our kids to do this work, because that would cost money and we really didn't teach them anything anyway, but we still want to live in a lap of total boomer luxury communism."

@nprofile1q... Inflation is the fate of every empire, however, I have at times thought that capitalism and communism are two wings of the same bird, and you can't have one without the other.

Communist countries must exist to support capitalist countries and vise-versa, or it just doesn't work.

@nprofile1q... With a sort of natural federation of nations based on ethnicity, if one nation goes down, the entire system isn't taken down. Herein lies the problem with the new world order, a world federation. It's not a true federation if its control is centralized and maintained by force.

@nprofile1q... Think about it... Look at the chaos "coming together" has caused. Nations are far stronger where there is ethnic cohesion, and different cultures make for nations that respond differently to circumstances; some fare better than others.

What we have built by "coming together" is an incredibly fragile house of cards. We are all equally weak.
