Same is true for voting in a lot of places in the US. Cuz making Election Day a national holiday would be a “blatant power grab by the Democrats” (an actual argument against it Mitch McConnell made). Many places don’t have early in-person voting or adequate mail-in voting.

If you’ve gotta spend multiple hours waiting in line at the only polling place in your district that’s makes it hard to do without losing out on a day’s pay you can’t afford to lose.

Nah, Cracker Barrel almost certainly wanted the redesign because that particular sector has been moving trying to avoid the whole “You can tell this used to be a Pizza Hut,” thing for a while.

They want to be able to just open up a store anywhere with minimal investment. Then if their store is super generic it’s real easy to offload the real estate if that location doesn’t work out. It’s easier for another firm to buy the real estate if they don’t have to spend a bunch of money making the former Cracker Barrel not look like a Cracker Barrel.

Maybe, wouldn’t something like a Faraday bag work though? Then you don’t even run the risk of someone trying to twist the meaning of whatever regulation might exist to try to charge you with something.

That is a point, could someone even do that on something classed as a phone though? Don’t most places have some kind of law about these devices always being able to reach emergency services like 911?

It seems like it’d be relatively simple for a bad actor to record something and just… wait until you had a data connection though wouldn’t it? Seems like it’d be more secure to just keep there from being any data to send rather than relying on a bad actor not being able to send it. Am I missing something here?
