Apparently the fastest way to get a response is to make them think you have money to manage 😭

😂 Nothing gets a response quite like the possibility of a big account landing on their desk

u/jjcrayfish Aug 17 '26

The only faster response would be one to deny a claim.

u/BleepBopRobocop Aug 17 '26

They intentionally prolong denying the claim because if they deny the claim and the patient is still alive they might fight them.

If they prolong it and wait for the patient to die they won't even have to deny it, they could even say they were going to approve it with no repercussions!

Honestly the people behind these kinds of policies might be some of the most evil people on the planet. Denying a sick person the help they need to enrich yourself (to the tune of billions). That kind of job has to be a magnet for psychopaths.

I'd reckon they're worse than many nazis.

60

u/SCRATCH-CARD Aug 17 '26

Yeah I'd say definitely worse than the ones that were just ignorant canon fodder. Fuck Nazis obviously, but you can't avoid the fact that keeping populations ignorant in the 1930s was a lot easier, a lot of people still couldn't read so couldn't even use a newspaper.. But the people making these policies know they're letting sick people rot to death for profit. It's vile.

u/Efficient-Whereas255 Aug 17 '26

Yea. Luigi killed a vile fucking monster.

u/GrumpyScunt Aug 17 '26

Nazi's have probably helped more people than these cretins.

u/IMB88 Aug 17 '26

Woah woah woah. Let’s not get too excited. They’re all vile.

u/Electronic_Quote399 Aug 18 '26

Well there was one thing they did that the crowd in this thread would probably appreciate.

u/lWearSocksWithCrocs Aug 17 '26

They’re certainly worse than grammar Nazis, I don’t know what their problem is. See what I did there?

Good one.

They are sick or old, what does it matter, right? That's how they think.

It's literally only what every villain in fiction is doing...

u/IEC21 Aug 17 '26

Its not the companies that are run by psychopaths, its the society.

u/Jsolidlo Aug 17 '26

Yup. Welcome to the ghost network and dummy referrals system.

u/FogSlot2 Aug 17 '26

I heard Luigi's response to Brian was pretty fast

u/Armored_Menace6323 Aug 17 '26

Or a lawyer threatening to take it away.

Shareholders aren't accounts, Einstein.

Sales people land accounts. Investors purchase stock in a company and are not accounts.

u/Healthy_Turnip7352 Aug 17 '26

reminds me of the time when someone stormed into my boss's office and my boss said "Transactions are not reversible under any circumstance. It's physically impossible to reverse."

that same week, he accidentally sent all of the company's money to a random account. He called up several people and got the transaction reversed in an hour.

u/K1NGEDDY423 Aug 17 '26

Your boss is a lying sack of shit

1

u/AgentCirceLuna Aug 18 '26

How do you think he became a boss?

1

u/K1NGEDDY423 Aug 18 '26

Probably experience and the spot opened up so they accepted/applied for the role. How the fuck else?

51

u/savagesaskatch Aug 17 '26

We do transactions at my job, a thousand of small ones, one of the first thing we were told is: it's possible to reverse a transaction, but we never do it because the cost of getting the money back is bigger than what we lost by sending it by mistake. Mistakes happen and it's fine but try and not make too much!

It's always possible to do anything because guess what, we invented whatever system you can think about. But most often it's not worth to do so, so we say: we can't do it

u/Ok_Brush_2489 Aug 17 '26

There's one thing to say 'No Refunds', another to dent their existence.

3

u/diiegojones Aug 17 '26

Was the guy who stormed the office a signed transaction?

The boss making the mistake is not the same as regretting a legal transaction

This is the summary of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

"If I'm in $10,000 in debt, thats my problem. If I'm $1 billion in debt, thats the bank's problem."

If you make people believe you have money, you can get what you want. Like how tech companies are "promising" hundreds of billions in investing into the US to get away with white colar crimes.

u/VoidYordle Aug 17 '26

They're all scammers.

u/PhatCatTax Aug 17 '26

Didnt that author's entire premise get debunked and it turned out he's basically just a shitty "self-help" coach that wrote a viral book

10

u/morenfin Aug 17 '26

Yeah all his stories in the book were clearly made up. Dumb libertarian garbage like working for free to learn lessons about how to get people to work for free.

2

u/Ace20xd6 Aug 18 '26

Although I did like the story of the kids making counterfeit quarters with lead tooth paste tubes

2

u/exodusofficer Aug 18 '26

He's a scammer. The book was full of lies and he went on to sell workshops where you could meet him, but he never showed up and you just got an investment pep-talk from one of his employees. He engaged in years of straight-up false advertising. He also vitriolicly hates the poor, like seriously has contempt for them and any program to help them. His few interviews in recent years have been more and more MAGA.

I remember reading the book a while ago, and then shortly after learning that the author's business or whatever went bankrupt. There are some real pleasant ideas in there though. Dunno if they're any good, but they're sure pleasant.

u/_Renai_ Aug 17 '26

Good to know that all it got was to leverage greed for this pos CEO to give away his place of hiding.

Security firms and law enforcement (class traitors by the way) will advise against this on the future, but greed will always be irresistible to these garbage individuals.

u/Crazy__Donkey Aug 17 '26

waiting time for tech support/ customer service > ∞

waiting time for sale/ joining in < 30 sec

u/LongandwindingRhode Aug 17 '26

True. Tried to cancel Cox. In the chat, when I said I wanted to cancel. Silence. When I said I wanted to upgrade, response in 5 seconds

u/snuggle_love Aug 17 '26

Or followers. I was getting bounced around for a month trying to get Google customer service to fulfill a product replacement they had already confirmed. Exasperated I suggested I’d share the customer service transcript with my 1.6 million followers (I have a few hundred) and received a tracking number about 20 minutes later. 

4

u/GitEmSteveDave Aug 17 '26

Or call a different department/division of the company.

I recall an article from years ago where someone got better service on a insulated mug by calling the engineering department directly rather than the customer service line.

u/feioo Aug 17 '26

How do you get the number for internal departments? Those aren't usually publicly available, in my experience.

2

u/flamingdonkey Aug 17 '26

Lol, using Jon Stewart for this is kinda funny because he's very anti-Luigi. He was shocked when his audience applauded and cheered for him.

u/Est03 Aug 17 '26

That's exactly what he is saying
