When civilization is treated like a dropped call

Are we even recoverable in the fundamental transformation of America and the world in total via the great reset?

Are we even recoverable in the fundamental transformation of America and the world in total via the great reset? The Afghanistan negative policy event, in DoS speak, is a macro-watershed moment. Its micro-analogues in the news and in daily life are numerous and support serious apprehension.

I was disheartened by the following story I ran across in the New York Post. In short, the New Orleans P.D. has charged and is seeking a 911 operator in Louisiana for deliberately hanging up on people who called in emergencies. The Post reported that "Precious Stephens was working with the Orleans Parish Communications District when she allegedly disconnected 911 calls without taking vital information or relaying the calls to other dispatchers for aid." Scary? Maybe her nails weren't dry.

Some readers may remember that last year in Minneapolis, the president of the City Council, Lisa Bender, said she envisioned a police-free future, but when pressed in another appearance, she told Wolf Blitzer that "we don't have all the answers on who might respond to reports of violent crime without police." She also posited that reporting a break-in comes from a "place of privilege."

In a personal anecdote, a close family friend a few weeks ago had a sixth-month follow-up CT scan for his previous cancer surgery. He has yet to receive his scan results. He is one of several people I know who have placed their lives in the hands of non-communicative health care providers.

Society should be able to “claw back” their salaries from when they weren’t doing their jobs.

I am not & will not attempt to defend former 911 operator, Precious Stephens, but the thought occurred to me that maybe just maybe she was thrown in the job with way way too little training and simply was overcome by the events. I have seen it happen many many times with retail clerks. Company hires them, gives them a quick walk through, then throws them to the wolves.
I really suspect that is what happened to Precious Stephens. Affirmative Action at the city or county level and when push came to shove, she went into sensory overload and started hanging up.
No defense, but in my opinion, I think this is what happens in our modern progressive world. After all 911 operators make decent money and in some places, they get nice spiffy uniforms.Why shouldn't Precious Stephens be a 911 Operator?

“...“claw back” their salaries...”

That will never happen for many reasons, one being that the employee’s privacy in almost all cases is superior to the taxpaying public’s right to know.

Also consider this. The political party affiliation of givernment workers is predominantly demonkkkrap. The only way to make significant inroads here is to reduce the size and scope of the givernment. And that will never happen according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The laws of economics cannot help either because if there is any scarcity, the givernment will take away from the citizens to preserve itself. Anybody’s taxes get reduced during the economic shutdown? Any givernment employees take a pay-cut b/c they weren’t showing up for work? Anyone?

Bet $10 she is a demonkkkrap.

Bet $10 she is a product of public edu-ma-cation.

Most givernment-employees are demonkkkraps.

This incident does not surprise me.

I had a treat the other day when I was trying to get through to customer service at Lowe's. The ghettopotamus who answered the phone said the standard line about the call being monitored for training purposes and proceeded to axe me how she could help. And before I could respond, she apparently shoveled a load of potato chips into her mouth and proceeded to crunch, crunch, crunch........ crunch, crunch, crunch..... aaaaand.... crunch, crunch, crunch...

I said, "Um, excuse me?"
She said, "Yemmnph? crunch, crunch, crunch..."
I then shouted, "WTF is wrong with you???" and hung up.

Training purposes? Haha, yeah, right...

With a name like “Precious” you know that she likely isn’t...
