  1. Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯

    1. Yeah sure,I’ve got 12th winning thanks to Mr Mark , he’s really the best , I have made £16,200 in 18 days of working with him

    2. Ever since I met Mr Mark for the first time at a conference in Manchester i invested £25,000 and traded in one month making close to £143,670

    3. This is the kind of info we don’t get from most YouTubers .l will get in touch with him right away, I’m really impressed

    4. Alot of success stories, he’s must be honest and trustworthy for people to talk this good about him.

  2. It’s about time someone stood up, and it’s awesome it’s a women, BRAVO. Now if they take away the 230 shield then America can use OUR freedom of speech as it is written in our Constitution. 👍👍👍👍👍 🙏🙏😃

  3. just like a KFC whistleblower confesses “ppl will love it if our food is more greasy”. i dont get why its so controversy 🤦🏻‍. i use FB and i know what im getting🤷🏻‍♂

    1. What you’re saying is very different from this. Greasy food from KFC or McDonald uses red and yellow to make your brain think you’re hungry/need food. This is appearance-based strategy. Facebook is similar to tobacco because it promotes production of dopamine. That’s why you like the pings, dings, beep, on your phone everytime you get a notification. Addiction to alcohol does the same.

  4. did they have a recess at least? I would’t be able to stand after sitting for over 3 hours. wow
