It’s too late no? The response is always so weak: “questions”, “considers”, while the fascists act.

So what’s the point of this dance we do every year where the govt is coyly asking us to guess how much we owe or are owed?

I think it’s pretty screwed. What is ham radio? The name means nothing to today’s youth, it’s just confusing and they’ll move on to something else. Our attention is so fractioned these days that no one will stick around to find out more, we’re never bored. And you need boredom to get into this type of thing.

What can you do with ham radio? Talk to strangers? You can do that online with milliohms of resistance whereas getting on ham radio is megaohms of resistance in comparison. What I’m saying with this resistance analogy is that ham radio has a big learning curve and friction. You’re competing with the internet, social media, games. Ham radio simply doesn’t have a good hook, it doesn’t have a good incentive.

Congrats! I wish you success!

Primarily because it’s a $3k piece of equipment. There are myriad other food preservation methods (canning, pickling, drying etc) that compete very strongly on the price/performance scale.

For some people it’s worth it, but for most use cases it’s going to be cheaper and simpler to go with an alternative method. There’s nothing wrong with the equipment or the technique, it’s just the value proposition for the consumer is low and the entry cost is high.

A million subscribers in the swing states is not easily dismissed. If the election was just a popular vote I’d agree, his numbers are inconsequential. But unfortunately it’s the swing states that really matter for the presidential election.
