A company that the government paid to distribute “Obamaphones” — the nickname critics gave to government phones given to poor people — has agreed to pay $13.4 million to settle a case alleging that it doled out devices to tens of thousands of people who didn’t deserve them.
TracFone Wireless signed up more than 175,000 ineligible customers for the program between 2012 and 2015, according to the allegations the company paid to settle. more
I wonder if they paid her:

” to settle a case alleging that it doled out devices to tens of thousands of people who didn’t deserve them.” I got news for you, none of the people who got those phones deserved them.
Somebody’s makin’ money or it would be happenin’.
So they’re going to pay a 13.5 million ‘fine’ with our money back to “us” that we’ll never see. All this after making millions and millions more off a corrupt guv’mint program funded by…”us”…as usual.
Lawdy lawdy, Obammy gonna pay my gas and mortgage.
Keep in mind that obama-bin-lyin’ got those those bogus phones from uber-wealthy investor Carlos Slim. The mega-impostor obama used the phones to track, surveil, abuse, and data-gather users’ info and lives, all of which is recorded by his equally sinister federal agencies.
Gee, I wonder what ever happened to the rodeo clown.
Wonder if TracPhone is going to retrieve said phones and/or collect the back fees from those that they weren’t supposed to hand them out to.
A lot of us said this would lead to fraud when it was started, and were accused of hating the poor and being racist.
Nothing new here.

Indeed.

What were you expecting?
I was not looking for a pity party or sympathy.
Reminding some of history, and you seem to be one of those who need to be reminded, given your weird response.
I can handle accusations, attacks, all that they can throw at me. I survived several wars, don’t need any pity, sympathy or advice on that.
I just call things as they are.
