Shouldn't there be like laws to protect against those, and a few huge class-action lawsuits, forcing the telcos to pay millions and millions of dollars because of that?

Of course there should be. We stopped expecting them during the Reagan Administration because private industry would upset the entrenched monopolies that were keeping us down.

And safe. So now people think unions are icky and representatives that care about people rather than corporations are fantasy.

Yes. Call your representatives and campaign for new ones, or run propositions
