„Not only do I not care, it’s also funny to hear you scream“
Triggering headline I know but if you rtfa this is to deal with a real problem with 911 services. The vast majority of time one or two people can man a 911 line effectively even in a moderate sized city. However when a publically visible event occurs or mass casualty situation occurs there is a major triage problem sorting through redundant reporting of the same issue. A simple screen activated in these events that can be easily bypassed to reach a human if there is actual acute distress can free the human up to focus on the most relevant calls more quickly.
This is piss poor low effort reporting as the most relevant take on this would be to get ahold of an actual 911 call responder and get their take on this.

Possible second-tier harm here: are they sending 911 calls directly to a company? That's gotta be illegal, no?
I’m guessing you’ve never heard of Intrado, was pretty much the only profitable part of the company I used to work for, before private equity bought the company and laid off tons of workers. I left before I ended up on the chopping block.
And another step toward Orwell’s Dystopian Hellhole…

They know New Orleans is on borrowed time but they don’t want to spend money helping people and businesses relocate so they will just kill New Orleans off.
