This is "not applicable", yet the top comment just causally is "putting aside the Automation/Job Replacement fears".
Working in a call center is basically the last easy to get job for people who aren't very intelligent, it's the one job where a physically handicapped but attentive person can get treated like a normal human being. And they all just get tossed in there, "trained" by people who don't know their ass from their elbow either. They don't exactly have it good as is.
But let's "put that aside", because they are not eloquent enough to post here, and the few who think of them in earnest can be easily ignored. And then double think and "struggle" to think how putting someone else's suffering aside could have anything to do with this.
> If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.
-- Stephen Hawking
There is no "struggle". There is no "try." Think.
