I often don't like it when customer service people say this to me if I have been waiting to resolve an issue that is the company's fault, because my waiting is barely a choice; the company screwed up and now I am 'forced' to spend time getting it resolved.
Only apologize or thank me when it's personal and sincere. (The size of the business matters a lot in if the apologies or thanks feel genuine.)
In the wake of worker strikes and Amazon’s continued enshittification, I have pledged to stop buying anything from them.
Capitalism is draining ~~the~~ life
Perhaps they have stopped thinking critically and believe that whatever is legal is ethical.
I'll save them some time: The entire for-profit insurance, prison, and banking industries are unethical.
I have had trouble with it finding addresses as well. I use Magic Earth for driving because it can actually find most all the locations I search for.
the AI system will analyze their responses, time spent on tasks, and even emotional cues
That means every student is going to be recorded with a camera and microphone? Is anyone else horrified by the fact that the AI software is going to be actively watching and listening to these kids?

It's extremely likely that US citizens are going to lose many consumer protections once Orange Shitler is back in office.
Looks like North Carolina could use a political luiging.

Does the UK have anti-smoking or anti-vaping campaigns, or did they ever? That seems like a lot of people are vaping.
I agree that it's infuriating! I downloaded an LSPosed module called CaptureSposed that overrides it.
It shouldn't take a specific module hack on a rooted phone with a custom OS with an unlocked bootloader to get this functionality back.
While this is slightly off topic, they do, and clothes made with recycled plastic contain even higher levels of BPA and BPS than clothes of virgin plastic. Some-to-most bisphenols are removed after washing (BPS more than BPA) but they still either go into the wastewater stream or get absorbed through the skin when wearing.
Between microplastic shedding, bisphenol leakage, and general cross-contamination, most recycled plastics are just more toxic versions of virgin plastics.
But it can cause long-term and permanent damage to certain organs, and that is a pretty big reason to care. Unfortunately that fact doesn't seem to clear the hurdle of point 3 on your list for many people.
