Customer Reviews
Macro trends are not your strong point
Invite experts when you talk about the economy and job trends. Keep up the pressure on Tesla founder.
I felt compelled to write this review
Scott - Your humour is often crass and inappropriate.
Kara - You think too highly of yourself and your opinions!
To both. Please don’t change a thing! This format of respect and tolerance for each other is exactly what we need! Always thoughtful and entertaining. Cheers!
Kara might consider developing a bit of humility
Her arrogance is quite off-putting. Of course, she couldn’t care less about these reviews.
