    This is partly why we have unemployed people. Real people used to be paid to answer phones,

    I get robo calls from my Health Insurance asking me why I don’t take my pills. I do take them but there is NO CHOICE FOR THAT! Calls to them are futile.

    My website was closed down because my credit card had become dated. The website was hosted by Squarespace. All that they needed was a new credit card number. Two other companies were also on automatic withdrawal. Those two companies just gave me a phone call and asked for my new credit card number; no hassle with them.

    The password I have for Squarespace did not work. I went to their site to look up their customer service contact phone number and they don’t have one. They explain on the site that it was faster and more efficient to solve problems online. It took me and my nephew, who created the site, 2 days and probably 2 to 3 hours of my time to finally get in the site and put in my new credit card number. It was 100 times harder than getting into any of my bank accounts.

    We have unemployed people because we sent all the jobs to other countries, we have instant communications all over the world, so we outsource telephone representitives and we have allowed in undocumented aliens to do the work the welfare class used to do. We don’t make anything or mine for raw materials, so we end up as bankers and insurance salesmen – or working for the government.We don’t fix our infrastructure – there is no money to pay for it.

    I just keep calling other companies until I get a live person!

    Sometimes it takes several attempts…

    I also especially love the websites that say "If you’re having trouble with our site, contact us by email. "
