Cruise missiles would get my vote.
I worked on a request for quotation from Northrup for a power supply for a new cruise missile in 1984. I designed a prototype and left that small company. In 2005 I visited that company and those power supplies were being made on the production line. Google can find only traces that the missle exists. If that is a representative example, we are already paying for a lot of cruise missiles. We have a military budget of $698.5 billion. PM Send Clark

"Say ‘goodbye’ to robocalls"
Been hearing that BS for a couple decades now.
Ain't happened yet.

Maybe those three know that the legislation is just another solution for a problem that can be fixed easily by individuals who will make the simple effort. If that's the case, I appreciate them standing on the principal of fewer unnecessary laws.
All you need is a little phone discipline of your own, and you never have to answer another robocall, or any other phone junk.

SO many MORE important things to worry about.
Its SO easy to ignore the calls.. don't ID someone we know it goes to voice mail. Been that way for years. The few seconds it takes to glance I'd just as soon worry about no more gun control, border security, fair taxes IE get rid of property tax, and so on.

To me it's abhorrible that we can't answer the phone when it rings. Another example of stuff getting FUBAR. It's not easy to "just not answer" calls from a number you don't know, if you are in business, and have advertising working for you.

As already described by others above, there are ways around that too. The tools are out there. I often have ads to cover too, and I haven't had to answer any phone spam for years.

I'll believe it when I see it. In the last few months, I've gotten robo calls that show up from phone numbers that I actually know.

The only reason we still have a land line is because my wife has to carry a beeper it is just back up incase the cell service goes down. The amount of spam marketing calls that unpublished number gets is obscene. Every once in awhile I'll answer it and say "You should get a respectable job" and then hang up.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Well, yes and no.. I don't advertise, period.. But when the phone rings I just look at the caller ID.. IF it's a reasonably close number WITH a name associated - I answer... IF not to either of those two, I wait for the answering machine.. A valid customer will begin to leave a message - if I'm close by I intercept it and take the call. If not, I call back asap.. Eliminates 95%+ of having to deal with those robo-call basitds..

Nine calls out of ten to my house phone are robo. That's why my home phone is unplugged. I only use it for calling my cell phone when I can't find it.

I never felt a need to answer every ring in the old landline days either, once I had an answering machine. I never understood those people who couldn't stand to ignore a phone call, even for just a minute. If it's real and it's important, the caller will leave a message. If not....meh....

If you'll spend a little time fuqking with them, you'll get removed from a lot of list. A few months ago I decided to fuqk with every single one of them that calls me, the calls have dropped dramatically. You should hear some of the sheit I say to them, make a drill seargents ears turn red.

You should hear some of the sheit I say to them, make a drill seargents ears turn red. Y'know, you may be on to something. I was unoccupied and feeling a little game one day a few months ago when I got one of those unknown numbers ringing. So I answered that one and dicked with him until he hung up on me. The calls dropped more off after that.
