Why Have a Virtual Receptionist? - 0 views

  •  
    Business owners take all possible steps to ensure customer satisfaction. One of the most successful and recommended strategies in this regard is to begin with a virtual receptionist service. This service brings in extra representatives for a business and eases the lives of the customers. When the customers have questions or queries to be answered or any problems to be solved, they try to reach the authoritative body telephonically and it is not uncommon for them for not having to been able to do so. This is where the need for virtual receptionists comes in. Virtual receptionists are basically persons who work for the customer support but do not work from the office or any specified location.

      And the biggest disgrace in this "big grab" by the "Scientific-Administrative Complex" is the so-called "War on Cancer" which has bilked billions from a public terrified by the "C Word". All the so-called "experts" knew the natural cure for cancer over 40 years ago when the Scientific-Administartive Complex launched, with the help of bumbling government bureaucrats, "The War on Cancer". Billions of raised, charity dollars later, we have a bigger problem with cancer and more people dying horrible deaths than ever. Meanwhile "researchers", "all wellness societies' management", and three different "physician specialities" are making huge salaries . The Scientific-Administrative Complex will NEVER find a pill or a treatment cure for cancer ...never mind the fact that only God "cures"... because you can't cure a lifestyle or genetic problem with a pill or a treatment. And we all know that the majority of cancers result from lifestyle issues. gfp
  • the influence of the military-industrial complex has been exaggerated, compared to the scientific-administrative complex, which represents ‘an intermingling of government, science and the university, unprecedented in American history.’
  • Oliver (being left wing) decided to edit President Eisenhower’s original sentence, to remove an equally dire warning about the growing influence of the ‘scientific-administrative complex’.
  • Galbraith says, ‘the educational and scientific estate is becoming a decisive instrument of political power.’   And he reminds us that this New Class, ‘owes its modern expansion and eminence to the requirements of the planning system.’
  • a bureaucracy inevitably tends to develop and articulate its own vested interests.

  • ‘Modern, liberal secular society is based on the revolutionary premise that there is no superior, authoritative information available about the good life or the true nature of human happiness, that this information is implicit only in individual preferences, and that therefore the individual has to be free to develop and express these preferences.
  • “new class” is not easily defined but may be vaguely described.  It consists of a goodly proportion of those college-educated people whose skills and vocations proliferate in a “post-industrial” societ
  • scientists, teachers and educational administrators, journalists and others in the communication industries, psychologists, social workers, those lawyers and doctors who make their career in the expanding public sector, city planners, the staffs of larger foundations, the upper levels of government bureaucracy and so on

    The so called "Climate Crisis" is a green-washing application of "The Precautionary Principle" by the new "Scientific-Administrative Complex" in this author's opinion. And they're one scary group with more clout even than the Military-Industrial Complex". It matters not one jot if it's getting cooler or warmer. There must be a problem, the problem must be industrial capitalism (ie, freedom), and the solution must be more State control ...of course. gfp (2011-11-30)
