The automatic phone forwarding system

Press 1 for apathy, Press two for abuse, Press three to be randomly disconnected.....


What a frigging waste of an invention. A few years ago, the inventor of this system was interviewed and even he said that he was sorry he invented it.

Compound interest/usury.

'Cause it's just evil, plain and simple.
It's one of the main reasons we have this 'wealth = debt' economy now. For a thing to negatively impact so many, many people; there's just no excuse for that kind of blatant exploitation.

I agree more than 100% with this guy!

In fact I change my vote!

We are born filtered into a system of economic slavery with banks and credit as our masters.

Because he likes money, that's why.

Me, I'd uninvent the concept of money as a trading means. (ie: I can't make a product, so I'll give you this paper stuff, that used to be representative of this silver or gold stuff, that most people agree is pretty shiny and therefore pretty neat, but since I don't have any of the neat shiny stuff, I'll give you this paper instead. I didn't actually make the paper, either, you understand. Someone else did and told me that it is equal to that much of that shiny stuff, so it's all good, right? You take this paper, and I'll take your product, and we're good.)

Cellular telephones.

Noting more than a digital walkie-talkie that a 3rd party charges you to use.
