Sleaze sells. People helping people often doesn't.

As Winston Churchill once observed, "a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on". And American society 2024 version seems to have an insatiable appetite for the lies.

If the creator of the so called video you are referring to had a brain, he would be arrested for smuggling. Years ago another individual wrote about the great life grandparents were having in The Villages, but he thought they should be back home watching their grandchildren. Talk about morons.
