When Resources Are Free – Obamaphones For Everyone

Sneeze, and your plan is converted to an Obamaphone:

Last week, I almost got my very own Obamaphone—by accident.

I own a Tracfone; it is one of those prepay plans. The carrier was upgrading from 2G to 3G, and I was sent a new phone to replace my old one.

I called the service department to get my number reassigned to my new phone—and that’s when something went wrong. A series of transfers between various representatives left me wondering if I would ever have a working phone. Turn the phone off, then back on; punch in this code; try calling now; look up this number; lots of never-ending, mind-numbing background music, etc.

Two days later, success!

And then the discovery! My perfectly good Tracfone had been mysteriously transformed into an Obamaphone.

It happened by accident, I think.

My guess is the inefficient government contract pays enough that it is better for businesses to just convert people to an Obamaphone. Once converted, they are a customer for life, and the government will always pay the bill reliably.

When resources are this free, that they are literally trying to trick people into taking the free stuff off their hands, you have r-selection. That we have gone as K as we have, is a sign of how wild the ultimate Apocalypse will be.

Buckle your seatbelts, because when the shit hits the fan, we will really go K. Trump may very well end up being seen as a moderate compromiser, before all is said and done.

You haven’t seen anything yet.
