(F**ked Up) Stat of the Week


STAT OF THE WEEK

The world’s “ultra high net worth” population — deep pockets with over $30 million in net worth — make up just 0.004 percent of global adults, notes a new report from Wealth-X and NFP Life.

We have to be honest with ourselves, nothing at all will change without a severe action of some kind....I am not saying what, I am just saying this is obvious to me

You seem the right person to ask, if I am not a paying member here, and someone has given me hearts, can I give away the hearts that were given to me or do I have to buy them to give them away?

3. I notice you could become a paid member by paying only $1 once a year?

I wouldnt do that, because I can afford more, but is that correct?

Other than being allowed to add more jury blacklist names, does being a paid member provide any protection from being silenced by a jury regards this transparency deal?
