Over the last few days I have become so frustrated with AI online customer service technology. I need tech help on my website, and I am no longer allowed to talk to a tech service agent. I can only talk to a machine that goes around and around, never resolving or providing any type of help. Before you consider AI for your business - focus on how to work with your clients one on one. Improve your customer service.

We have thousands of Americans known as the working poor who are living in their cars. The city of Sedina, Arizona, has set up a camping zone with showers for those living in their cars.

Last night in the congress, there was a lot of BS spread by Biden. The state of the union was a very worthless campaign speech of lies. The state of the union was a waste of time, and that is sad. More worthless spending and taxes. Biden doesn't get it that as he raises taxes on corporations that it gets passed onto Americans as consumers. Biden just doesn't get how his actions have hurt so many Americans.

I have been in private practice since 1984. From my clients and projects I have taken on I have learned so much. School only taught me the basics, but the learning process of my work gave me the most opportunity in my life. Seek knowledge daily.
