phone company sketch - we dont care - Tomlin

Lily Tomlin's classic 1976 Saturday Night Live sketch as telephone operator Ernestine, mocking the monopolistic Bell phone company with the line 'We don't care. We don't have to.' It is a one-minute parody of arrogant corporate indifference.

Quoted as the go-to joke whenever a monopoly or big tech company ignores customers, from Verizon to Google to Apple.
