A shift of wit from a witness wife and (God forbid) mother.
This poor little sucker has to sit on a large cushion.
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?
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’.
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.
Cell phones, like computers have made millions of people lazy, reliant on them, given the government the opportunity to track you, your calls and messages, and another way for criminals to access your personal information. I hate my cell phone, and only use it for calls and the occasional texts to confirm doctor appointments and refill mail-order scripts. The government already knows all that through my Medicare, and secondary insurance companies anyway, as well as my health record via my medical group’s database. Everything is there for the Feds to access. I got rid of my landline two years ago, because all I ever got were spam calls, even with Spectrum’s so-called call filter. I ended up turning the ringer off years before, because of that. My landline basically just gathered dust, and made my cable bill higher. So much for bundling.
Well, he is a mentally ill homosexual.
Right... BTW, I am not giving up my land line
Exactly! Pillow biter says what?!
He’s an idiot.
Buttplug, they didn’t BAN landlines before they had cellphone technology in place.
People weren’t FORCED by government - away from landlines to cellphones..
When we saw cellphones working, we VOLUNTARILY went there.
Big difference, dummy.
OK Bootygag.... which government program forced cell phones on the public?
Did I ever mention I loathe, despise and hate him?
If not, I do.
My neice DIED at the tender age of 39 because she was unable to find her cell phone and didn’t have a landline.
I gave up my landline the day the value of Broadband exceeded the cost of the landline. Pretty simple economic decision. When it is time to railroad... you railroad. EVERYBODY is willing to pay significant cash for a smartphone. The smartphone because popular on it’s own because it gave people something they wanted. The smartphone required absolutely no government tax breaks. I didn’t have to be lectured to by elites on why I should buy a smartphone. I didn’t need to be forced by government fiat to buy a smartphone.
Electric cars are the ObamaCare of transportation. EV’s receive significant tax breaks, as they are the Liberal’s wet dream, right there after they mythical “light rail” they try to keep forcing on us. Idiot government overlords want to FORCE you to give up your gas-o-mobile. You don’t need to FORCE people to buy a product if it is good.
Landlines are still in use by government.
Landlines work and are more reliable and cheaper. 3 good things EV’s are not.
Even the fanciest cellphone is a couple grand. I spend around 200 bucks on an android which does far more than I need.
An BEV worth owning (non-union Tesla) is well over 50 grand.
Laughable, I’ll never spend that kind of money on a car.
