Robo-callers usually don't care at all what the law says. This law will do almost nothing. But it's the thought that counts.
Somebody did something about all the extended warranty calls, but yeah I'm still skeptical.
During election time there are a lot of motivated irrational people out there who are determined to have their candidate win by any means necessary since the other side is so corrupt and are already probably playing the same tricks they want to play.
Holy shit! I haven't gotten any of those in a long time. Anyone know who did something and what?

FCC issued a $300,000,000 fine to auto warranty robocallers. Damn!
