Topic 1: Louisiana Secretary of State on Defining MSPs

We do a little analysis on Dave’s interview on his Business of Tech podcast. What consitutes “malpractice” for an IT service provider?

“If self-regulation doesn’t work, the government will step in.”

And, of course, how will legislation define MSPs and MSSPs?

Topic 2: COVID-19 and a Possible Recession

I’m not any of us understands what’s going on with the Covid-19 virus or with the economy. But there definitely appears to be a connection. We analyze a bit for the IT consultants out there.

Topic 3: Robots aren’t taking our jobs, they are becoming our bosses

An interesting twist from The Verge. AI without humanity can be very stressful. We speculate on what this means and where we’re heading.
