37. Understand who you may be calling "MORONS"
Thu Apr 8, 2021, 07:42 AM
Apr 2021

Just like telemarketing scams, this may be a scam that is targeting older people who watch Fox "news". I generally give a pass to elderly people who, to be fare, in their time didn't have to endure the constant barrage of scamming techniques being used today. While they are probably either less informed or mis-informed about quite a few things, they certainly don't need to be called a moron. A more constructive approach might be that we help them become better informed, or that we push to have changes made that will limit the amount of mis-information being broadcast on Fox "news" and hateful talk radio broadcasts.
