Goldman Sachs operates like a sweatshop

lundi 22 mars 2021 à 01:00

Goldman Sachs operates like a sweatshop for its new employees. They have to work 100 hours a week.

If the majority of his cult followers follow this pattern, I predict that the bullshitter will soon return to condemning vaccination, and they will forget that he ever said anything different.

A few years ago, China accused two Canadians of espionage, apparently for revenge. One of them, Michael Spavor, just had a secret trial which lasted just three hours.

Clearly China is not interested in whether Spavor really committed a crime.
