Funny thing is that if he’s done this for a month so far, he’s barely broken even, with $250 annually coming out to less than $21 per month and the fake port being $18.99 before tax.

LOL. A Jezebel writer should follow you to take you out of the grays.

Solid arguments. Thanks for changing my way of thinking.

How cool! Thanks for the history and for bringing us up to date.

The lesson in the ad, I humbly suggest, is not that “wokeness”—whatever that is!—is bad, but that the CIA is bad. Which we already knew.
