I really hope our freedom's aren't relinquished on a platform as fortified as "It is what it is".

This doesn’t make sense?

How does “freedom” relate to an electrical utility deciding whether to cut service?

[johnnyanmac]

"Freemdom" is accepting that mostly marginalized people get their power cut because they are marginalized. Your reaction to that is to shrug and move on instead of investigating the systems below that keep the marginalized as so.

Even if we take marginalization out of it, this is the same kind of system that let's Healthcare recklessly utilize AI Systems to automatically reject patients' care, with a Herculean effort required to find a human to talk to. Its easy yo shrug until you are hallucinated into their crosshair.

But sure, that's "freedom".

Even after re-reading this comment, it still reads like gibberish. As if my example was half read, or not at all.

By definition, a billing department of a utility has to be able to “marginalize”… in order to function.

There’s literally no other way I can see for it to work.
