It's absurd that there aren't more steps being taken. Just this morning I had 4 calls between 5 and 8:00, and I can't turn my phone off. (On-call for work.) O

It's absurd that there aren't more steps being taken.
Just this morning I had 4 calls between 5 and 8:00, and I can't turn my phone off. (On-call for work.)
Our government is busy shutting itself down over nonsense, yet pathological problems that are meaningfully impacting citizens are going entirely unmanaged for years. (To the FCC's credit, STIR/SHAKEN is a good step but I think it's very much a too-little-too-late situation; I haven't been able to empty my voicemail box in years lest it get filled up again within a day by spam.)
To make this not just be a rant (and since I see others who are concretely affected in similar ways) Shouldn't we be pursuing our govts/reps to be more aggressive in everything from investigating and prosecuting violations (spammers) to ensuring proper incentives for carriers to help defend against this? Is there anyone who has been a champion for this in the past?
