Companies replacing human customer support agents with AI bots are going to start losing my business. No one should have to go through circles of AI hell to even get to the queue to wait on hold for 45 minutes before being disconnected. Bring back real people. @VerizonSupport

🧵Baltimore County has grown since 1955 but our County Council hasn't. Today, council members represent more than twice as many people as 1955, so they can't represent us as well. Along with other state and local leaders I'm endorsing the 4more campaign: vote4more.org

Despite his recent campaign rhetoric, @SenBillFerg and I know Larry Hogan’s record, and we can’t trust him.
The stakes in this election are too high – we need our next Senator to be on the side of Maryland families and Maryland values.

If AI’s can write papers and create art, why are technical support chatbots so incapable of even understanding your question, much less answering it?

I agree. Term limits take choices away from voters and force out even beloved leaders doing a good job. Research shows that term limits also create less effective legislatures. And we should beware the source: this initiative is clearly a right-wing attack on Baltimore.
“Imposing structural term limits is paternalistic and insulting to the citizens... Baltimore voters…are sophisticated and know how to vote out incumbents they no longer want.”

Addressing racial inequality in thread: Today, I submitted testimony in support of @SheilaRuth HB610 Public Health Commission on Universal Health Care. Which will establish a plan for a statewide universal healthcare program that would provide health benefits to all Marylanders.
