have absolutely no authority whatsoever to approve or deny anything,

Then these are explicitly not the people I am talking about. The ones implementing the policies that cause prices of medication to skyrocket and then denying that same life saving medication to the people who require it, are the people I'm talking about. This situation isn't nobody's fault. It was caused by people and those people deserve whatever karma has in store for them.

The easy answer for the wage slaves is to say "just work somewhere else" but I've been desperate enough before that I know that's not always an option. I have no beef with those guys. Clocking a 9-5 and going home isn't the great evil that's being called out here.

I'm sorry you had to live through that and, honestly, while I don't consider my perspective to be changed I do respect what you're saying here. People who threaten violence on call center workers are idiots. But you have to admit that their fear and anger has a legitimate source.
