People are sheep. If you pushed putting a carrot in your ear through the media propaganda long enough, ‘cutting edge’ sheep would eventually walk around with a carrot shoved in their ears. After awhile (~14%) most people would begin to do the same.
In my 50’s and still with carrot-free hearing.
Just turned 50 and doing the same. I love the freedom.
I never attempt to contact home from another country except by email. Have had too many $urpri$es$!
I look forward to the day where cell phone rates are low and consistent. Anyone else remember the days when long distance calls (yes, on rotary landline phones to all you sanctimonious old goats) were outrageously expensive and times had to be monitored to avoid a bank-breaking bill?
Every few years I get hit with a bank-breaking cell phone bill for one reason or another. As a general business model, infuriating your customers every few years is a poor plan, but will monopoly regulations ever break up the cell phone companies to increase competition as was done with the old long-distance services?
