And here I have been working my butt off to pay for things like the phone bill. I swear, I am starting to wonder why I bother. *sigh* Clearly, not working at all is way more profitable.

Poor people were constantly signing up for phone plans and not paying the bill. They were causing an explosion in the number of phone numbers taken out of circulation. This is an attempt to get them into a “ghetto plan” like Tracfone (which I have) where you have to “pay to play”.

Will it work? Shiite. They’ll just sign up for another plan so they can get “free” unlimited minutes.

Where in the constitution does it give the federal govt. the right to take my money to pay for others offspring, cell phones, abortions, etc?
Time to band together and storm the gates of congress,
Get a torch, let’s burn it down with them all in it.

“Clearly, not working at all is way more profitable.”

That would appear to be the end game...the majority of the country beholden to the government for all of its’ needs....

I'm not sure I follow you. The website appears to be legit and they do have commercials on TV fairly often.

Has it? What’s the deal with the company? I did a search and quoted directly from their website, but couldn’t find more. Can you assist?

I listed it under general chat. Is any part of the information untrue?

I didn’t view this as an ad, but rather quoting this deal for our review and comment. Our tax dollars at work...that sort of thing.
