Drive a car made later than 2007? Too bad they're profiling the car electronics already.
I'm routing my cellphone through VoIP in my house to a landline phone... I will be not using a cellphone in the near future. all calls to the house, if I'm not home... too bad, leave a message.
oh you need me to have a phone for mfa? too bad... I won't use your service or I'm going into the building. it's 1998 lifestyle for me now.
