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.
