What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, July 21st, 2025. I hope you had a great weekend. Myself, not so much, due to personal reasons, and the fact that I ran out of XFINITY bandwidth until August 1st, 2025. Also, I’m getting closer and closer to the maximum mileage to my VW. I need help. I need a new full-size sedan ASAP. Please consider making a donation to my GoFundMe, which only has $61, with every donation made by me. If you donate $5 to Limonade Stands, or other ordeals, but you refuse to donate $1 or more to my GoFundMe, I really question your loyatly. Put some money where your mouth is, I’ve been slaving away for the past 14 years on Zack.coffee. I finally have 23,000 unique weekly viewers on LinkedIn for Zack Technology LLC. Everybody in the SF Valley is getting millions of dollars of funding for silly apps. Meanwhile, I do good deeds and all I ask is for a brand-new car. Help me out. Thanks in advance. PS. Yes, more and more people at #IntelCorp are getting fired until I receive an apology letter and a job offer letter. It’s been 7 years without paychecks.
