YOU -- Yes, you.

You are not a temporarily embarrassed, oppressed, not yet realized, millionaire, billionaire, or future, trillionaire either.

You're a regular individual who has better chances of being struck by lighting, than waking up rich through hard work and determination. It is time you grew up, and accept that.

At this time, the CDC cannot be relied upon.

Donald Trump's regime is preventing health related news, information, and scientific reports.
