I've been trying to book 3 nights at a resort that is ~$900 per night. It's a resort that has many zones/properties in a general area, and I wanted to make sure we were in a specific part of the resort where we have stayed before.

On my third attempt to book, I called and got some Hatian-sounding lady who spoke fluent English but whom seemed very slow to understand anything. I spent almost an hour on the phone trying to get a couple basic questions answered and was put on hold over and over while she was trying to get those answers from some lady in the background who sounded like what, in the past, would have been considered tier 7 support.

I ended up hanging up without booking the hotel and now we aren't going on vacation, because their help is so fucking worthless and retarded that we were not able to even get basic questions answered. I understand that when you get a call center you never gonna get that personal service that you get from the front desk of the hotel, but this was like next level stupid and it made me think "this is the future", and then shortly there after "… the future is now :/".

I can see a time in the near future when the power / water just starts shutting off in various US cities because of the caliber of idiots that are in key positions.

At some point, money becomes worthless. Even if the currency doesn't "collapse", if everything that you save money for becomes worthless trash, served by retarded idiots, it's very easy to imagine how an Atlas Shrugged scenario comes about.
