Thank you I would support your comment and your vote too, God bless you.
Wow, that is amazing and very very sad, indeed, that we live in a world where people can climb so hide and get wealth they, their children, their children's children won't be able to spend. While people starve, are homeless, uneducated, etc. Just too bad, and very, very sad :(
