Spending too much time in "call center hell" thanks to corporations' use of AI & algorithms making inaccurate assumptions. Automated decisions often don't make sense logistically or otherwise. They need to be overridden by calls w/ call center CSRs. Since time is money, we're getting robbed.

@ivey.house.gov & @ashantimartinez.bsky.social during a Town Hall Meeting re: the impact of "one big beautiful budget bill" on healthcare (Fed $ cuts to Medicaid, SNAP & Medicare). If your elected leaders are as busy as these people, you're fortunate!

Although I'll benefit from this initially, it sucks that this will completely deplete the Social Security fund by 2034. Everyone who's ever paid FICA taxes should receive Social Security benefits when they're eligible, including younger generations.
