There are robocalls that you want to get. Here in california, our
wonderful electric company sends out robocalls when they are going to
cut our electricity so they don't get blamed for burning down cities
(and then still manage to anyway). I'm not sure if our earthquake alerts
can robocall or not, but that would certainly be another one that you'd
want to get. There are plenty more examples.

That stupid people do stupid things has no bearing on me.  If there is a legal requirement for these people to be 
"notifying" then they are required to notify.  That they chose an assinine and ineffective method of notification does 
not relieve them of their legal obligations.

I do not want to receive robocalls period.  End of Line.  No Exception.  Ever.  For any reason.
