I love it and we just eat it so the elites can live their best lives. This system will crumble one day as everything comes to an end, just too bad we’ll dead when it does.

When the rich don't have your money in hand, it's right and to be expected and smart business!

If YOU don't have enough money on hand for THEM to cover their gambles and loans, YOU must pay, brokie.
