You want something done? You march into someone's office. And when I say march, I mean march.
It actually (eventually) did work for me when a dealer sold me a car with a blown engine. Had to threaten legal action, but it started with a phone call, then a march to the office.
"Based." Did I say that right, or was it cringe?
It's bussin

No, millennials with rich parents will inherit the Earth.
They'll leave it all to their least empathetic, most entitled, most selfish brat of the litter.
The one's they see themselves in.
Yeah I can do this. And am not even 30 yet.
Nope.
It would probably help if phone calls still really existed as a method of getting stuff done but the amount of places not bothering / having automated / foreign staff for their call centers makes them basically pointless and a completely different skill set compared to old school charisma and phone etiquette.
Patience and stubbornness to deal with the bullshit and still keep the effort applied will win.
Not some skill that feels nostalgic and forgotten like phone calls or cursive will save you from the onslaught of time.

Even Boomers know not to answer their phones anymore
