Previous conversations on this topic have hinted that a systemic difference between the UK and the US is who pays to connect a phone call. As I recall it, in the UK, the caller pays the per-minute charges to connect to whomever they are calling. In the US, the recipient is paying to have phone service available. In this configuration, spammers have no disincentive to calling as the recipient paid to make the line available.
It would seem they MAY have completed their upgrade. Unlikely.

Darn those popular operating systems. Every few iterations, we find one.
C'mon...we're not Brits. Even they think they're the worst tourists.

Couldn't find current rankings, but there are several old surveys showing Brits are the most disliked tourists.
Thank you stevel. #4 is maddening to me. I've been using Roboform for years now and generate passwords, even for crap websites. Sites that prevent autofill are maddening and require me to copy paste my password from the vault.
Designers, use throttles to prevent password stuffing on your web forms, not limitations to legitimate uses.
You don't have to. Ruckus wireless included this feature in their access points 5-7 years ago. They are used in schools and hospitals to know where people are that need to be located quickly. I imagine other vendors have started including this feature in their higher end access points, too. They also rely on the implementation of multiple antennas in the AP to determine which direction the signal/response came from.
Multiple APs can triangulate a position, but a single one can still give a good idea.
Ruckus also used to have software to map your space (with building materials and such) that might be good enough now to actually identify where someone is while accommodating for construction interference. Haven't sold these devices in ~5 years, so I'm not up on the most current features.
As noted by another commenter. 44% of Americans don't pay any income taxes, so the "vast majority" is already eliminated. I'd also question your assertion about paying 20-30% taxes. On 30% on $100,000 (not the actual rate, just an example) would be taxed this year as 30% on $76,000 which is only 22.8% effective tax rate.
The actual tax rate for $100,000 gross would be at the 12% tax bracket for tax year 2018 (for couples filing jointly) after the 24,000 standard deduction is applied.
Without doing the additional math, I suspect anyone subject to a 30% effective tax rate is already making enough money to pay the accountants to make that number not happen (as is what this whole story is about).
Assuming you're not having a laugh. Troy Hunt does this.
It's not MY car. I own a Pontiac. I'm only licensing it.
There ARE no poor neighborhoods near this house. Bartonville, TX is upper-middle class suburbia.
At some point, don't the ISPs risk their common carrier status? They like the protection of saying they don't know what the traffic is that is flowing around their network, then they try to work with the media companies to block downloads of copyrighted material. If they know it is copyrighted material from an unauthorized source, then they no longer can claim to not know what the traffic is.
Either you give me access to the internet to pass whatever I want and are not liable for what I pass, or you get to filter it and become liable when illegal content gets through.
Aren't the "protected computer" owners responsible? The RIAA tells us that "making available" means any copying of that file is your fault.
Under the RIAAs rules, the computer owners have violated their own privacy by making that data available.
Someday somebody has got to decide whether the typewriter is the machine, or the person who operates it.
