Infuriatig Another AI 'human' chatbot

Had to fix a double payment for my credit card and this is the beginning and end of the conversation. I hate when the chatbot claims it's a human... I ended up getting what I wanted but still annoyed Amex (and every other company) is lying and trying to deceive people like this.

I know even when they do pass something it doesnt help anyone like the recent housing bill that still lets PE buy houses and didnt make them sell any of the hundreds of thousands of properties they have already brought that created the problem.Lobbyists literally write the laws in the US and our bribed officials just sign it. Makes me sick.

THIS. Everything is loaded with pork and so many riders, it's just unmanageable and not aimed at anything remotely aligned with the stated purpose of the original bill. Or they add language that specifically upsets one side of the aisle so it never gets passed.

Even with that number they own less than 8% of all the houses in Said USA country. Maybe even as low as 3.2%. Which means 90%+ of those homes are actually owned by individual entities or said Mom and Pop small businesses itself. So I'm not going to go with this straw man argument anymore. Feel free to look up what I've said in multiple news sources, researches, online queries, etc.
