Went to get some laundry services and called the number. I was leery as I am in Toronto area and number was Nova Scotia.

A male sounding person answered and I started posing questions about laundry services they offered. This guy was the politest person I had heard in over a decade. Concise but vague. I thought it was VOIP delay as there was a 3-5 second pause for him to reply but realized that it was too consistent. It was a fucking AI attendant talking at me. I said stick your AI, I will not be using your services and hung up.

Grrrrr me want human.

    what do you really save when you personally save for example $.30 on a transaction when the AI spends five dollars in energy?

    Exactly. The economy right now is a big ball and cup game so that the rich can convince workers to keep funding their kleptocracy.

    We pay taxes for public services and utilities that generate private profits while the rich get to benefit off the infrastructure that we funded. The cups, the balls, and the god damn table were all built and paid for by the working class.
