America, where you can inconvenience an entire nation as long as there's money to be made

  Better than inconvenience due to inefficiencies and stupidity with no money to be made

    Looks like most everyone got a lot of inconvenience due to the inefficiencies due to a bunch of stupid phone calls, with a lot of money being made by a few jerks, largely at the expense of senior citizens who weren't prepared to deal with a rapid shift in the way the world worked.

  You hit the nail on the head. The US could have stopped robocalls years ago, by enforcing accurate caller ID and maybe policing who got to hook up to the SS7 network, and aggressively enforcing whatever laws could be used against the scammers. But instead, the phone companies probably decided they could make extra cash off the robocallers, not realizing they were killing the golden goose. I'm also 100% certain that both phone companies and members of Congress received bribes i mean sizeable campaign contributions and cushy think tank jobs over this. So maybe 50-100 people made money, and absolutely ruined a working communication system. I hope it was worth inconveniencing the entire US population to make a little money, you shameless wieners.
