Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Then maybe corporations should have actually developed the very first well-designed IVR. Because they're all shit on purpose at the moment.
yes. designed to get you to hang up and decide you issue is not worth it and you will eat the three bucks or whatever.
You can’t force a company to do a good job with their voice response or web page. However if it takes longer to respond to callers so they no longer comply, then the corp has incentive to spend money on a better automation tool or more people. Their choice
solution here is to increase personelle. If people want to talk to people they should be allowed to. Look at automated check out lines in stores. The stores tried to push them and elminate the manned ones and it fell apart. But you know what they did not get rid of them and folks when not forced to will if it makes sense for their needs and they get a good amount of use. Folks will use the automated systems if their experience with those systems are good. Give an estimated wait time for an agent and estimated time to resolution with automated and folks will try the automated. but if the automated systems stymies them they will call back for agents or press a key for them and will not use it for awhile in future. Maybe never. Its up to the automated system to actually be better from a human point of view.
