  • You’re right, absolutely spot on, about several things but ONE IN PARTICULAR is this:

    A human being helping a customer is, quite literally, an act of circumvention. Customer service EXISTS, SPECIFICALLY, for scenarios that require exceptions and skilled, knowledgeable internal maneuvering within, between, and around the cold mechanisms of machinery and policy. We tend to think of, say, purchasing items at a store as standard operation, for instance. But really, from the perspective of the business, its objective is to RESTRICT access to goods and services. The cashier manages exceptions to this goal. If the company has its way, it would take your money while relinquishing NOTHING.

    Boomer negligence and outright malfeasance ruins yet another millennial life on several levels…

    If her parents had been fucking responsible, she’d be in less shit right now.

    If her parents’ GENERATION hadn’t been FUCKING EVIL, there wouldn’t be as much shit to BE in in the first place.


  • What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
