i know that i'm supposed to be mad that this is racist or it help obfuscate offshoring, but i'm fine with it if it actually makes conversing easier.

It strikes me as being more like defense against racism, but I can see how it's also erasure. Still, imagine having it built into a hearing aid?

Right? Like can we do this everywhere? It can even be a two way thing if that makes it easier for BOTH parties to understand each other.

My current company is global and while everyone can speak English well sometimes accents make it almost impossible to communicate.

		`My current company is global` Maybe we aren't meant to have global companies that exist to exploit tax and labor laws? Neoliberalism is a large reason for why the world is how it is now.
