[Get over emails already] Corrupt people need to be held accountable, or the situation will only get worse.
Good, THEN let's keep investigating Jeb's, Rove's, and Mitt's email and harddrive misdeeds, waterboarding & Iraq torture, Iraq intelligence "book cook" pressure from Cheney, the 13 attacks on overseas civilian offices under Bush, which resulted in injuries and death, and Pat Tillman's death. We never got complete answers.
Hillary should just get used to never-ending investigations.
Between GOP's doggedness, H's notoriety, and her penchant to be careless about certain things; her legal team's shop should prepare to be open 24/7/365. Double that if she's elected.
If you otherwise like the work and company, then perhaps you can write up a nice diplomatic and complementing letter explaining that you otherwise enjoy working there, but that your "home tether" requirement is not being fairly compensated in your opinion, because it limits your off-work choices.
If one's neighbor pack their house with lots of renters to make money, there will likely be more parked cars, plumbing trucks, and noise in the neighborhood, making is less pleasant to the neighbors of the renter, and lower their property values.
In economics this is called "externalities": Person A gets the profits and Person B gets the headaches caused by A's actions.
The guy had no foreign accent (sounded western US)
Irony: East Indians learn US accents to get phone support jobs, and US citizens learn East Indian accents to get jobs from US companies expecting to only offer visa-worker wages or working conditions.
string them along and then find an excuse to put them on hold.
Being on hold doesn't necessarily slow them; they are probably multi-tasking, doing multiple calls at once. If I pause to dig for info in a regular call, such as tech support for example, I can tell the operator works on another case.
The power and sophistication of say pattern matching can span a wide continuous range. For the high-end techniques, most are okay with calling them "AI". The medium and low end will invite more debate.
That marketers throw around "AI" a bit much, I agree. Whether its a misuse for this particular gizmo depends on how its done and how well its done.
Because I know people ripped off from similar scams, now I start asking questions. To be polite, I ask up front, "Do you mind if I ask some questions to confirm your story?"
Most scammers will blow you off with a quick insult and then walk away at that point. They are usually not prepared for that.
If they agree, then I'll try to offer alternatives to handing over cash.
"What's the name of the medication your child needs? Is it prescribed or over the counter?"
If they say over-the-counter, I'll offer to buy it for them myself and bring it to them. That way I don't have to give them cash. If they are scammers, at this point they are finally likely to bail out.
The meaning of "progressive" is defined by the history of progressivism,
Typically meanings are "defined" by current usage, not (directly) history. You should know that.
And the reason they could get away with that and stay in business is that (1) government has limited competition and (2) government has limited the ability of customers to sue those companies.
For #1, let's take an actual example. How exactly did the gov't allow MS to become an OS near-monopoly for desktops?
Per #2, most of the customers I was paid to screw didn't even know it. You can't sue if you don't know you've been manipulated. Part of the art of manipulation is not letting the manipulated party know they've been had. (I'm not condoning it all. I just ended up in such situations.)
Further, much of it wasn't illegal, just sneaky. Most trickery is not illegal and shouldn't necessarily be illegal.

Somebody actually planned ahead AND designed something that worked AND implemented it properly.
All 3 of these happening is rare, KUDOS to those involved!
Trump supporters?
Perhaps consider leaving. Jerks be jerks.

Why should Person B just have to accept it?
Are you saying chopping down the trees is mostly what changed the southern climate?
Isn't it already agreed by most researchers that global warming is caused by humans? The Spanish are humans, no? I'm confused here.

Problem have you with Korean Yoda?
Outright bans are too ham-handed. What about a yearly limit or stepped tax or an hour's worth of overtime pay per message as a discouragement.
OMG, Nerd p0rn!
I mean in general. They still exist in other products.
Non-techies often giggle when I use the word "dongle". Can't we find a better word before HR hauls me in for alleged harassment?

Concorde lives!
Maybe it's not a Boolean concept then. There is a "level" of AI-ness. AI-ativity? We'd need a new vocabulary to talk about it.

I must be rich then.
