No I don't. I don't follow anyone, unlike you who follows a serial liar, malignant narcissist, serial adulterer con man.
Of course he does the bloody hypocrite
one billion
More than one billion people are active on Facebook.
More than 100 million people use Instagram every month.
The only ones buying the share up would be the ones that were rounded up in the middle of the night about a year ago.
The Netherlands should make up their mind, they are getting out of oil and gas or this is phase II beginning.

The Fram field in the North Sea is expected to harbour up to 100 million barrels. It is conveniently placed and is expected to commence production at short notice.
A major oil deposit in a so-called “mature” area of the North Sea has been discovered by Equinor, Norway's government-managed energy giant formerly known as Statoil.
More specifically, the Fram field lies about 20 kilometres north of the Troll field and about 120 kilometres northwest of the Norwegian city of Bergen. The area has been known for oil and gas activity for a long time.
“We have made one of the biggest discoveries of the year in the most mature area of the Norwegian continental shelf, not far from the Troll field. It shows what opportunities still exist for value creation and revenue from this industry”, Nick Ashton, Equinor exploration director for the Norwegian and British shelf said, as quoted by Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
Why is there so much adoration of wealth hoarders. Is it not known that extreme hoarding is a symptom of mentall illness? Why is extreme wealth hoarding any different?
One billion dollars is a huge amount of money. Indeed: One billion dollars is such a huge amount of money, that there has recently emerged a whole sub-genre of images specifically designed to help us get our heads around how huge it is. If you, for instance, had earned a million a year, every year since the Battle of Hastings (that’s 1066, for non-Brits), and not spent any of it, you still wouldn’t (interest notwithstanding) be a billionaire. If you earned an annual salary of $43,000, you might eventually become a billionaire (again, not accounting for expenses or accumulated interest) — if you waited over 23,000 years.And none of this is even accounting for the still more extreme amount of money that Jeff Bezos has managed to accumulate over the course of his lifetime: $110 billion dollars, according to one recent estimate. The other day, I overheard a couple in the pub, students I think, arguing about how much a billion was. One thought it was ten million. The second bet that it was actually a bit bigger: one hundred million. When they realized that a billion is in fact either one thousand million (“short scale,” sometimes thought of as an “American billion” by British people) or one million million (“long scale,” used officially in Britain until the mid-1970s), they couldn’t stop laughing. People actually have that amount, like that amount of currency — in money? And they’re just allowed to sort of... have it?
Billionaires are powerful, and some people are just psychologically conditioned to be toadies.

The worship of billionaires has become our shittiest religion
Nobody should have a billion dollars, and those who do are something other than fully human.

Too bad Cliff doesn't get CPP. You need to work and pay in to get it. Do you think he has ever held a job for 5 straight years to qualify?
