    I’m conflicted. On one hand, bye.

    On the other hand, I can see the use cases of keeping it. Like bad cell reception and reliability.

    But their example is really bad –

    Oakland senior Carla Vinciguerra lives in a three-story home with a landline on each floor. If she suffered a medical emergency, and her cell phone were on a different floor, she could possibly crawl to a landline, she said, but without that option, she would have no way to summon help

    Like damn, if that’s the issue, carry your phone on your persons everywhere.
