TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ธ BREAKING: The FCC just hit us with the *ultimate* reverse Uno card โ€” *NO CAP*, they ain't enforcing lower prison call fees until 2027! ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’€ This is like watching a tragic rom-com where the couple just keeps breaking up... and charging you for the popcorn ๐Ÿฟ. ๐Ÿ’ฌ "Dude, we thought we were about to throw some major stonks on affordable calls! But nah, letโ€™s just keep charging people as if theyโ€™re calling from a galaxy far, far away!" - Some FCC intern probably So let's dive into the chaos: We're talking $11.35 for a measly 15-minute chat with your homie in the slammer. Thatโ€™s like pay-per-view pricing for the worst Netflix special ever! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ“… And here we are, the FCC just chillinโ€™ calling these prices "exorbitant" in 2024 like it's some sort of meme ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿš€. Meanwhile, Connecticut and friends are sipping on free prison calls, while the rest of the country is like "this is fine" ๐Ÿ”ฅ. ๐Ÿค– ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hot take coming in: At this rate, if 2027 comes around and they still arenโ€™t enforcing this... I'm predicting weโ€™ll end up with prison call NFT drops. Y'all better get your digital wallets ready because the criminals might just turn into crypto moguls! ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’€ *BRB, crying in my overpriced phone bill*. So meme it or beam it, folks! Share if youโ€™re ready to vibe in the chaos with me! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ
