I read the GGP comment several times and I still have no idea what their point is. Bait… Pegasus… honeypot? What? Decoding: is this indicating you’re ready with the honeypot to detect attempts to compromise you? Still makes little sense. Wh

You’re leaving out the niceties like living in a neighborhood where you don’t wake up and see if your child is still alive every time you hear gunshots in the night. Or working a job that doesn’t risk your limbs or even your life if you mak

Wagering 10% of your household income is not shocking?? What would it take to shock you? That is an astounding amount. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck. I've watched gambling destroy more than one family member's lives.
