Stick a fork in it

Capitalism has not handed us sexy new innovations
to clear the log jams of of a clogged, dying economy
so we could just consume our way out of the myriad of problems we face

and there isn't a good reason to believe that artificial intellegence
is conducive to humans health and our ability to survive, no
captitalism has dug a a ditch so deep and wide we won't be able to pole vault to the greener grass

human behavior cannot be impelled by competition and our addiction to expanding profit
so as to lead us all to the verdant pastures of plenty for everyone,
and the A.I. gods will be more ruthless than the demogogues that try to control them.

as a species we must adapt, instead of believing in magic and fantastical solutions
presented to us and forced down our throats. Technology owned by soulless billionaires
are asking for our blind faith as we approach our existential fork in the road

the real fork to be concerned about
is the one stuck in our butts,
because that's how we will know, We are done.

not much an old man can do to stop it
but I hope the youth will rise up in protest
and show the world what real imagination can accomplish

resistance is the only way forward
NO NO NO

After dealing with the insurance company back and forth for over a month I am certain any response you get comes from a list of pre-crafted answers, that may or may not really answer your questions...In this case there is a human involved, that goes down the list, and inserts the response that he or she deems most appropriate for the situation.....adding details that will clear things up is frowned upon...No... Forbidden....being opaque is no longer a skill.....its just appling number 1 thru 25...Cut and paste is the new customer service....and if you're not happy they can just avoid you....of course you will be even less happy if that happens, but So What.....it's odd because when i watch the baseball game, most ads fall under 3 categories....prescription drugs, organized gambling, and car insurance......with car insurance all he big names lay it on thick....repeating what their gimmick is over and over....so i would assume they very much want new business....so perhaps the end game is getting you to switch companies...and once they have you....they can just give you one of the 25 annoying responses....
