  1. Why did you PoS groomers turn your commenting off on the video of the child drag star? Absolutely disgusting.

  2. Funny comments are allowed on this, but the current one. Guess we know why you guys are going out of business.

  3. why were the comments turned off on the recent video? shame on you guys!

  4. The thing for me is, as a single-member LLC I get taxed heavily based on my revenue bracket, and these folks are not paying taxes and money laundering in plain sight. And governments keep us occupied with frivolity stoking the fire of us hating each other while they live lavishly. I can’t 🤷🏾‍♀️

  5. Love this series and host! Thank you for breaking it down to a ELI5 level 😂 the vibe is epic. The green screen shots are the best!

  6. Paper money will be worthless during WW3. Only gold and diamonds will be worthy of trade after nuke war

  7. Kind of biased ehh. Not saying it’s right or wrong. Just the weird reporting and pointed information is enough for me to not watch the whole video. Kind of over Vice stuff these days. Used to be some good solid content.
