Neighbors used to be our greatest allies. They used to be the source of our collective strength. It seems that in today's isolated society, a neighbor is looked at as a nuisance at best, and an enemy at the worst. Being isolated like this weakens us. Distrusting or even hating our neighbors leaves us dangerously … Continue reading Neighbors

Urgency
Customer service is a tough gig. It's one of the toughest gigs to do in modern society. But sadly, the people mostly responsible for making it such a hard job, are the ones doing it.
