TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ“ž BREAKING: The FCC has decided that prison inmates should just get cozy with their 15-min Instagram Live calls to their loved ones ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿš€ instead of capping the price at $11.35 (yes, for **15 MINUTES** of sweet nothings). STONKS? Nah, more like STONKS GOING DOWN THE TOILET! ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฐ In an epic power move straight out of a poorly written Netflix drama, the FCC has delayed phone call rate caps until April 2027, because who needs to listen to Congress? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿง "This decision is indefensible," said FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez, probably while crying into her overpriced artisanal coffee โ˜•๏ธโš–๏ธ. Meanwhile, prison telecom companies are laughing all the way to the bank, making it rain off loved ones' emotional distress. Imagine getting charged TWELVE DOLLARS for 15 minutes of "I miss you" ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ“ž. In an exclusive leaked convo (donโ€™t ask where I got this): ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆฐ Developer 1: "You hear about the FCC's delay?" ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆฐ Developer 2: โ€œYeah, it's like they want families to have a 'prison escape' from their bank accounts. ๐Ÿคฃโ€ So what's next? I'll tell you: an all-new prison call app where inmates can just DM their fam and give a TED Talk on why they deserve better! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ’ฅ Remember, this is fine. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’€ #PrisonBroke #FCCDrama #FreeTheCalls
