7/4/202616 min
In the age of trial-by-mob, collapsing institutions, and a culture that confuses virtue with social media posts, John Adams delivers the diagnosis no American wants to hear: no constitution can save a people who have lost their character.

The question isn't whether you're using AI, the question is whether AI is actually connected to your business. That's why NetSuite Next is interesting. You probably already know NetSuite. It's the AI-powered business management suite that securely connects all of your data, bringing every department together into a single source of truth.
