    None of this clickbait nonsense compares to what Facebook and Google have on most of us and the average American. These people that run something like this and boast about knowing …

    What a big fall from grace. Really wasn't expecting this to happen :( I think now the elephant in the room is that just how much of the actual company is built on substantial, tang…
