“Hi this is Joe Biden in the White House. We cannot answer right now because we are busy stealing your money.
For black issues press 1,
for latino issues press 2,
for LGBTQ issues (Kamala did I get all the right letters?) press 3
for muslim issues press 4
for asian issues press 5 ...”
etc etc
lol!
.....followed by:
Your call is very important to us!
We’re all in this together.”
Funny joke (unless you merely wrote it down while making a real call).
At the hospital this past Wednesday I filled out the tablet categories and had to remember (from here) that the new category is “not listed” or “other not listed” to say if you are white and born in the USA and a citizen. I really remembered the FR post last year or I might have stupidly asked the staff woman what to do. Kidding.
At the start of all this decades ago we all wanted to have the phone recordings for banks, car dealers, various offices and so on in English only, followed by “or go somewhere to learn English.”
If we lived in China, Iran or Syria, do they give a phone “Press 2 for English” and give Americans Easter and Christmas off at work and school?
