BoomerTECH Adventures: Out of the echo chamber
No one likes to think we are biased. We all like to believe that we are open-minded. But are we? It’s less than one week to the 2022 midterm elections and I’m exhausted. I vowed not to watch any political TV ads this year, whether local, state or national, and I’ve done pretty well sticking […]
