I would be ok with this if the working class has a say in a daily wait music and elevator music for the corpo buildings.

Errr...you guys have to wait on hold on 911? This isn't just a joke?

It's more common in high population areas, but it does happen.
The obsession with running government services like a business results in some notions about efficiency where someone getting paid to work and not being busy all the time is worse than people regularly waiting for critical time sensitive assistance.

It also has the zesty side effect of making the dispatch operators overworked and rushed. This usually just manifests as mistakes, but sometimes results in anger and critical mistakes. The famous example of the operator who yelled at a kid for calling because his mom had a seizure in the bath and she didn't believe him comes to mind.

People's opinion on insurance: "boy am I glad that's there if I ever need it"

Their opinion on having extra dispatchers to pick up bursts of activity: "why the fuck are we paying them to sit around"

Both of those things are stuff you pay for but may never need, but only one of them is a human and that's the one we get upset about.

Just wow. I mean everyone has a really shitty day and stuff can happen,we're all just human. But dispatcher is one of those jobs that should never be understaffed nor overworked. Like docs or nurses or EMTs or.... Jeez...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Yes, in some jurisdictions this is common.

Satire is dead. Not enough CEOs have followed suit.

I am still pissed at Trevor Noah that he paraded the corrupt criminal reactionary ex-cop Eric Adams around as some sort of great achievement for black people, after Adams won the mayor election in NYC.

And now the rich get their own military for use against the citizens

They've always had it.

That's it, I'm founding my own LLC so I can be a CEO

I don't think so?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, being a CEO should be considered suicidal ideation. We already have a hotline for that.

What jobs did those kids create? They still can't even find their bootstraps.

This idea would not be terrible, actually, you just need the right class allies on the other side of the line

Edit: to clarify, I meant having regular working-class people actively sabotaging it

Or, we could go with a better solution - chain every health insurance CEO to a boulder, and throw them into the Sea!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

An excellent notion! In the spirit of compromise, I'd be willing to accept exiling them to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We could call 'em the Garbage Patch Kids!

And do it again! You and a friend!

Video tape and the party don't end!

Was waiting for a special type of Porsche, but tapparently I was wrong. Would be a good way to escape quickly Amy responsibility !

[–] weker01 0 points 20 hours ago

How would that even work? Like who would qualify? Can't I just open a small shop and be legally a CEO?

This smells like fake news
