I would be happier if they got life in prison without parole instead of a fine they will never pay

[freedumb2003]

Can we punctuate that sentence with a period before the word “with?”

Who gets the fine?

Each citizen gets $1.00, which will cost $10.00 to process and send?

Or 2 cents after lawyers at 99% share?

Or Zelenski? He could set up robocalls form Ukraine.

'We will be relentless in pursing the groups behind these schemes by limiting their access to U.S. communications networks and holding them to account for their conduct,' said Enforcement Bureau Chief Loyaan A. Egal in a statement

Bureau Chief Egal said in a follow-up, off-the-record statement "...unless they properly fill my offshore bank account ASAP."

The scam calls have gotten so bad that studies show many Americans simply refuse to answer the phone.

“the FCC decided to impose its largest fine ever: $299,997,000”

That certainly seems like an odd number......I assume there is some significance to it.

Hey, I know those guys. I love to spend a few minutes talking to them every day. They have great deals on car warranties and satellite TV. And they told me about the warrant for my arrest.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

They should go to jail for life

[I want the USA back]

I’m OK with public execution of phone, text and email scammers.

The robocall operation was run by Roy Cox, Jr. and Michael Aaron Jones via their Sumco Panama company and other domestic and foreign entities

A 6% commission to the FCC on 5 billion in sales? Where do I sign up?

[glorgau]

Does anybody know where I can talk to somebody about my car warranty?

And not one word about criminal charges. For the government it is all about raking in some money for themselves.

I’m sure I got my 15.

The government doesn’t like competition from fellow scammers.

This reminded me to order a large quantity of referee whistles to give to my family and friends to blow in their ear when they call. Live robocallers wear head sets and it blast them ear when properly used.

Whisper a bit... I’m sorry, can’t hear you... Speak up.. what? Can you repeat that? I’m hard of hearing...

While you’re getting the whistle up to the microphone, they’re snuggling that speaker into their ear canal... BLAST AWAY! And they’ll take you off their list.

Doesn’t work with AI, so ask the bot what 22 divided by 7 is... Pi locks up most CPUs

Solitary confinement with an endless continuous loop playback in their cell of their recording.

Until robo-callers go to prison with stiff sentences, they will pay the fine and continue doing what they do. Congress has repeatedly chosen not to pass the needed laws to make robo calling a criminal offense with stiff minimum sentences. The problem is that our reps don't care about the avg Joe. Big business is their god - and that includes both sided of the isle.

[Veto!]

My thoughts exactly. I never answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize. Check to see if they left a message. About 1 in 100 does and half of those are from sales creeps.. You can block caller on your phone but they can call back on another line.

I have my phone set to mute calls before 9 a.m., so they don’t wake me up.
