Thank you and yikes, instead of boosting funding into their lifeline, they resort to ~~cut corners~~ improve efficiency by sorting calls with AI. Seems a tad unethical, to do this in a field where every second counts and the consequences mean life or death... But hey, i guess more taxes for the rich is socialism and you can't have that, slippery slope towards communism. /s
