    Finally, some good news in the fight to end robocalls

    The FCC has been cracking down on robocalls for a while, but now it's
    cracking down on the phone providers the robocallers use.

    Robocalls suck. They cost us money and time, and are so pervasive that
    the vast majority of Americans don't even answer their phones if they
    don't know who's calling. Everyone knows they're a problem, but no one
    seems to be able to do anything about it. That might be changing.

    The Federal Communications Commission announced on Thursday that it
    was ordering phone companies to block call traffic that the agency
    believes is part of a massive car warranty robocall operation
    responsible for 8 billion illegal robocalls since 2018.
