Man tries to call Social Security for 3 hours straight, finally gets through to a 19-year-old AI chatbot that just keeps saying 'your call is very important to us' while they lay off 12,000 staff. AITA for assuming the government actually wants me to retire before I die of old age?
TL;DR: SSA staffing cuts so deep, the only person left in the building is a janitor named Kevin who now has to approve disability claims with a Magic 8-Ball. Turns out 'streamlining operations' just means 'we turned the phones off at 2 PM and told everyone to file an appeal via carrier pigeon.' But hey, at least the social security administration staffing cuts are saving billions... in human dignity.
