Seattle loses phonebook system

Fuck. The physical spammers won. Seattle lost their bid to stop the "yellow pages" litter at a cost of $781,503.

Anyone who's tried to use https://www.yellowpagesoptout.com/ knows that it doesn't really work, you still get this crap thrown into your front yard, and it'd be really nice if we could treat these litterers like every other litterer, but, no, you have to share personal information with the vandals to get them to throw less shit into your yard.

Fuckers.
