Also, we live rurally! To not have a landline is a huge SAFETY issue for elders, those with disabilities, families that don’t have broadband at home, and those with poor cell phone capability, which is most of us. Our community and the communities around us would be in danger. For example, if one of us no longer had our landline and a fire started, how are we supposed to call 911? The fire could spread because the fire department could not be called. Or, if a child comes home from school early and the parents are still working and there’s a problem, how is this child supposed to get a hold of the parents? Or, if a person is elderly or disabled, and the phone is one of the only ways this person can reach out, what do they do if they do not have their phone? This could be a situation for great depression or suicide. Or what about a medical emergency? And what about when the power goes out?”</font></div><div><font color="#3a88fe"><br></font></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 136, 254);">~~ The counter to this is the installation of 5G ~~~Yes ~~~ more 5 G ~~~~~~~ 5G has been very controversial and poses it’s own set of health issue~~!!!!</span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 136, 254);"><br></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 136, 254);">Also, if any of ever read<b> John Lewallen book published in 2002 “High-Altitude Nuclear War”</b> ~ it would totally cripple all (or most - shielding exemptions </span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 136, 254);"><br></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 136, 254);">possible….) digital </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 136, 254);">operations i.e. cars, refrigerators, computers etc…….
