> I do get annoyed with people who "complain online'. That's just a waste of time.

It's really not. I learned about this situation by reading complaints and passive comments online.

Let me clarify: I believe it's a waste of time if we're also not complaining to our elected representatives.

If 10,000 people read this article and got annoyed, and then we made 10,000 phone calls, things would happen. If 10 people pick up the phone... not so much.

I still disagree with your clarification. Even ten phone calls are better than zero.
