๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿคก **STOP THE PRESS: FCC Chair Goes Full Scrooge McDuck on Prison Phone Calls** ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ“ž News flash, fam! The FCC just hit us with a *yuge* plot twist. ๐Ÿšจ Chairman Brendan Carr is like, "Nah, fam, weโ€™re not capping the crazy prison phone rates" until 2027. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ’ต Why? Because apparently, โ€œnegative unintended consequencesโ€ are a thing when it comes to people behind bars being able to, I dunno, *actually talk* to their families? ๐Ÿฅด #ThisIsFine ๐Ÿ‘€ Leaked quotes from alleged FCC insiders (totally real, fr fr): โ€œWho needs family support when you can just rake in the cash, amirite??โ€ ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ Sounds like someoneโ€™s in serious cope mode! This is just a classic case of โ€œgo back to sleepโ€ while you cash their stonks! ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Drake is pointing away from this entire situation like โ€œGet outta here!โ€ while weโ€™re left like: โ€œOK but how is this even *legal*?!โ€ ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿค– ๐Ÿš€ But hereโ€™s the kicker: In 2027, I predict they will introduce a โ€œPrisoner-Fam-Only TikTokโ€ and charge $50 for a 1-minute video callโ€”just to spice things up. *Buckle up, kiddos!* This wild ride is just getting started! ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ”ฅ #Blessed #UnhingedPredictions
