Something seems very amiss with this.

We're heavily propagandized from birth. I realize that happens to greater or lesser degrees, around the world, but overworked, underpaid, tired, struggling for necessities, junk science with fake peer reviews and certain governments strongarming (to put it mildly) other governments. Cognitive dissonance waved away with professional terms. Overwhelm, in short. I only have the "luxury" of scratching the surface of my own enforced, propagandized ignorance because I'm chronically underemployed, my offspring is an adult, and other factors. Critical thinking isn't rewarded, often punished, and it's hard, especially when you've been deliberately misguided for decades, from birth.

I can't begin to imagine how exhausting it must be for you. I am grateful for your patience and gentleness with me as I struggle to remedy whatever is within my personal capacity to remedy, with the time and resources available to me, and would urge continued patience, for the few who may still be reached.

Maybe if I have some pennies to spare, I will donate. I'm just not an Amazon fan. I haven't given them money in a several years.

I'd prefer we not give Amazon money. I'm asking if there's a better place, for either?

The YT channel. Apologies, I know people aren't psychic.

Can we promote our products somewhere besides Amazon? One more friendly to regular producers?

Rich people who lived simply, "not underdeveloped, over exploited."

The bananas were a nice touch. It's sickening how politicians are using terms like "banana republic" divorcing them from actual meaning. I almost said, "and kangaroo court," but caught myself, before typing "court," since for a lot of North Americans struggling for any justice get that, for instance the college protesters.

My point is, it doesn't do much, if anything.

I knew a dev once that absolutely refused to use banks. I'm a populated California city. With security cameras all over outside, everywhere. Buried cash in Mason jars. We lost touch but I always wondered how that worked out.

When did Google start verifying security on play?

I don't know, it was a very long time ago. Maybe do a search, based on your interests?
