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.

Don't live in a three-story home at that point either?
