What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 734 & BENKYO RADIO 734. As you may know, I am not on great terms with Intel Corp because I haven’t received a paycheck in over 4 years. They continue to use docusigns with my signatures to keep their stock prices up, without offering me a salary or contracting position. I had no choice but to alert the authorities. Intel Corp’s Quantum Computing division is still very important, and I hope that whoever the next CEO is makes the right decisions. While I did not get paid (and hope that I do eventually), I am going to make sure that future OSU Alumni will get paid, when the new Intel Corp HQ in Licking County, Ohio is built in 2025. As for Jean-Marc Mensah, I believe my friend is lost in another dimension, I haven’t been able to get a hold of him for numerous years.

Until Next Time!
