A shift of wit from a witness wife and (God forbid) mother.
This poor little sucker has to sit on a large cushion.
“By the way, when did the Department of Transportation change from being in charge of building and maintaining roads and mass transit to being the dictators for all things transportation?”
That was right about the same time when the Marxists stole the last presidential election, installed a drooling puppet-of-Obama/Soros in the executive branch, and proceeded to Cloward-Piven us into a chaotic collapse, which they intend to use to take complete, totalitarian control in the aftermath. You asked.
He’ demented. And truth to tell, if I could afford a land line, I would get one, but last time I checked the rates are $100 - $200 a month these days. Ain’t gonna happen anytime soon!
Yes. On top of which, when your power goes out and stays out for days, a POTS line phone continues to work.
Anybody ask the fool when was the last time he saw a POTS line phone suddenly burst into flames?
We use caller id for that. Basically, we don’t answer the landline unless it’s a number we recognize. People can leave a message, too.
Agreed. Land line phones don’t explode and don’t cost $80k.
Pete, don’t you have a bridge collapse to tend to?
Anyway, I am not aware of any Federal government requirement that we all must switch over to cell phones. Although I do get the impression that AT&T is really trying to encourage me to switch over to a system that effectively turns my land line into a glorified cell phone.
And the whole push for EVs is not that they do a better job of moving us from place to place than ICs, which is what cars are supposed to be about, but rather to ‘save the planet’.
A photo of a face that yells (in the words of R.Lee Ermey USMC DI)—”Hey, you got a peter to puff?”...
A mental incompetent whack job mayor of a nothing city that wouldn’t be a city without Notre Dame, and he ran as the “administrator” of all the very queer and tranny townies that serve as the service sector to Notre Dame.
EXACTLY-—ALSO cheaper—MY “phone’ cost me $20-—8 years ago.
The one on the right is SMARTER
MY land line is on a system that has buried wires put in about 50 years ago.
THAT HAND CRANKED PHONE????
I GREW UP WITH SUCH —ON THE KITCHEN WALL AT OUR DAIRY FARM IN SO WISCONSIN.
20 party line-—
A SPECIAL ring if you had an emergency-—EVERYONE was to ONLY pick up & listen—and respond if able.
CANNOT pull my 4 horse trailer, either
Same applies to “ALL ELECTRIC HOMES”
You are the exception to the rule. They hate the car and petroleum because they cannot control it completely. They are tearing down the dams and generation plants out West.
Problem is Buttie Boy, you want an iPhone 15 only it’s 1984 and the newApple McIntosh has a 68000 microprocessors and no hard drive.
There were cell and car phones back then took just like there are Teslas today.
They were limited use and only enough capacity for a small segment of the population to use
You can have my rotary phones when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.
HOW come the Feds are forcing us into Ev’s-—with plenty of resistance?
I have noticed that OUR NAVAL FLEET still has LOTS of fossil fuel powered ships.
Great post!!
Do NOT look now-—BUT your “CORDLESS LAND LINE” requires ELECTRICITY to work. The “base” needs power, but can walk around with the phone.
I also can walk around with the phone-—I have a 50’ cord plugged into the wall phone plug-—in the middle of the house length.
even when I lived in 72’ long log HOUSE-— it worked fine.
