also, start funding the Youtubers who are tracking down and hacking the scam call centers…force the Indian government to take action or start leveling those buildings too. Assholes targeting the elderly deserve no mercy and we’ve put up with it for too long

t's not hard to police yourself and not politicians to handle your affairs.

I don't do business with companies that don't have English speaking people. I will not talk to a Jeet or a Juan about anything business related. I immediately cuss some people out and move my account to a different business.

This is Ameica and we speak English. If you cantspeak English, you shouldn't be "serving" customers in the USofA. I'm just trying to do my small part to fight the machine.

I had to call UPS about a week ago and got an Indian lady on the phone who had such a strong accent I literally couldn't understand a word she was saying and had to just give up and end the call.

How do we get to the point where a US fortune 500 company has first line customer service agents that can barely speak English? Why even bother at that point? Just have no customer service line at all and save even more money, it wouldn't be much different.

He’s already succeeded by sealing the border, rounding up droves of violent criminals and illegals let in by Biden-Harris, and un-queered the military and government. Those are inarguably successes, so this would be, at a minimum, his fourth success (2nd edit - I was short on my daily code dosage this morning)

Add up all the minutes and hours that people have spent answering the phone from slingsh*t Asia, etc., and prevent that loss in the future.

If they want to do graft and corruption, let them follow the "Miss Cleo" model and buy space on TV.

Yeah and it will be just like the AI helpdesk chatbots that cant ever resolve the issue you need help with and force you to play games and waste time before getting a real person on the phone.

When people call me from a computer and use a random generated caller ID number belonging to someone else, can we make that classified as wire fraud?

I no longer agree with the rise of AI voice faking scams. It's not widespread yet, but it's smart of Trump to get ahead of it now.

FCC? I would consider the Dept of War to be far more effective.... drone striking the call centers would end the problem quick, fast, and in a hurry.

He has drummed and is drumming mentally leftist trannies out of the military, and has taken down the pride flags from our buildings around the world - all utter embarrassments. That’s right off the top of my head. There have been plenty of other directives within the ranks of the military, service academies and governmental agencies that have refocused them on national security and maintaining a strong image, and not limp worsted image.

Edit : limp wristed

I owned a technology company and we created the idea of rural sourcing. We had development teams and call centers in the smaller towns throughout the US. The cost of living was lower so we could pay less and our employees still made a good living. In some cases, with tax incentives, we were even more competitive. We did well but for some reason, companies had to use India even with the support America first message and time saved lost in the language and education barrier.

One of our centers was in Cedar Rapids and there we cities where col was even lower.

Cedar Rapids offers a highly affordable cost of living, with an overall index of 79.2, which is roughly 20% below the national average. Housing is particularly affordable, with median home values around $192,000 and average rents around $1,050. A single adult generally needs about $64,000 annually to live comfortably.

With Trump in office, we've been kicking around trying this again. We were never as cheap as India however the skill sets were much higher.

You see those raw green pumpkin seeds?...I heard long ago that they don't have prostrate cancer in india because they eat 1-2 tablespoons of them per day. The last 20 years things have changed and maybe their diets too but it's less in the rural areas...maybe because they continue in the old ways and have not changed their diet as much as those in the city?
