How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can't set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

Reading the comments I'm still amazed by how big of a problem robocalls are in the US.

Here in the EU I've had around 4 unsolicited calls in 20 years. Why is it a problem there and not here?

Because America is a third world country with shiny veneers

shiny

The roads, the bridges, the healthcare system, the airports, the rail system, the ports, the housing system, the education system, people of color, any minorities, the electoral system, the unions, the job market, the credit rating, and any government department that isn't military would disagree with that assessment. Only thing shiny in the US is the military and the police.

It just outright is a third would country and has the obsession with state sanctioned killing to prove it.
