Superfluous Big Government Measures!

Posted: 6/9/2019


Just saw the headline FCC passes measure urging carriers to block robocalls by default. Who is selling/pushing this news (“Good News for Robocalls”) to his constituency via a weekly email newsletter? A Republican U.S. Representative from Arizona. In the language of a typical busybody politician: “I have been keeping a close eye on how Congress and the FCC can help to put an end to the robocalls we are receiving each day. … I look forward to continuing to follow this issue and work with my colleagues to put an end to daily robocalls. ...” (emphasis added)


Get the government out of this! The private sector can handle these nuisances very well!
E.g. T-Mobile is already doing a great job to screen these unwanted, mostly solicitation calls.

If the government stays out of this, private businesses can innovate and distinguish themselves from their competitors. Businesses are compelled to work harder to please their existing and future customers!
