Was June 2023 Crazy For Anyone Else?

I’m getting this one to you late again because June was the craziest month I’ve had in a hot minute. It felt like the first two weeks flew by, and then the rest of the month was the entire summer. The first thing that really blew my mind this month was the fact that Amazon shut down a guy’s smart home because one of the company’s delivery drivers thought his webcam doorbell said something racist. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up. I ended up emailing back and forth with Amazon about the whole situation, and it’s completely legit. This is precisely why no one should have a smart home. Ever. From any company. Ever. Check out this video I made about it.

Next up, I had a pretty positive month in the garden. All of my veggies have erupted. I am having a lot of trouble with bugs, so if anyone has any recommendations, I am all ears. Just please make sure all companies you send along are on PublicSq. The last thing I want is to have to buy something off Amazon!

This all brings me to my last point — that no matter how crazy things got for me this month (and there was SO MUCH MORE) — sticking with my values and ensuring that I’m helping keep America a patriotic place. You can do the same. Just click the links and get set-up on PublicSq today!
