I just don't understand the mentality of a business saying "we don't want to talk to our customers".
Nothing will help long wait times when there is an unplanned widespread outage, except perhaps a mass text campaign to message everyone affected to tell them you know and are working on it -
Seems like this could be done easily, even easier with email.
They have a link, it goes to chorus, chorus doesn't have an outage listed in my area. After more than an hour on hold I talk to somebody who says there is an outage in my area affecting hundreds of people.
Go figure.
The point is why is there an hour wait just to speak to somebody.
I don't and I bet most other people don't either.
Maybe we can invite competition. Let's get the Chinese and the Russians in here.
They would vacate. We are too small of a country for them to care about.
Caught in a trap of our own idiocy.
The party with the highest number of votes proposes laws, they have to pass both houses to become law, every vote is a conscious vote. We could put thresholds too if we want so that a simple majority isn't enough.
The economy is already broken into sectors such as agriculture, technology, tourism etc. We could simply formalise these sectors and the N unions with the highest membership in each sector selects an advisor for the panel. The idea each sector can be broken down even further. For example if technology is a sector they can break it down into hardware and software or whatever.
Any law that is proposed would be submitted to the advisory panel where the experts would write a report listing the possible benefits and the harms of the law. They don't get a vote.
I don't think you can do either though. You have no control over what facebook or xitter does. Also you could ban donations but you can't ban independent expenditures or promises of high paying jobs after the stint is over.
The problem is that if your internet is out you aren't going to use their web site. Also their web sites are useless by and large. Even the chat feature has super long wait times. I once tried to use the chat with sky and I would wait fifteen minutes for somebody to start a chat and it would instantly crash and stop responding.
Bicameral legislature .
One with elected MP. These represent local interests
Second for the party vote. 100 mps. One for each percentage of the vote they gather.
Then an advisory panel representing workers. Every sector of the economy chooses a representative to sit on the panel. They can come and go.
I have been on hold for more than an hour because the Internet is out. It’s always like this no matter who I call. I had an issue with Sky recently and the same thing. Does anybody in this country offer decent customer service?
Here is a suggestion for you.
Teach about the Haka, what it means, when it's performed and why, how it came to being, what cultural significance it has etc.
Then ask your students to come up with something similar for their culture.
I think this would be a very neat way for the students to express their creativity and learn about and appreciate their own culture instead of mimicking another one.
