> People say its to preserve the brand

I don't think it's that, either, given the rate at which they are involved in overt censorship, over the last years.


The boss of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, publicly said "In 2030, you will own nothing and you will be happy."

Let that sink in. That's how psychopathic those people are.


The amount of people that see this tidbit on facebook from this website and parrot it without concern for the actual speaker or the context she said it in is concerning. You people are supposed to be intelligent

Houston, we have a problem.

How much money tho? It's unlikely anyone will put in more than a seventh of 1.75k for an app like this.

I meant for a single bad interface!

In total I shudder to think about all the wasted time.


Where else could you get such quick/easy "consulting" on such a simple question-basis?
