*incredulous headshake*
The phone book came today, & I marveled at how tiny it is compared to last year's. The latter is 8.5" x 10.5" x 1.5"; the former, 7" x 8.5" x 1".
Flipping through it, I realized that it had businesses only. But it wasn't just the white pages. I looked at the cover & saw that the publisher directs the consumer to "find residential listings at yellowbook.com".
Wow. What hubris. Not everyone has access to a computer (or to the Internet; lest one forget, they are not the same). Especially when all one wants to do is look up a phone number.
Poor people still exist. They still need to use the telephone as well.
