Matt Gaetz reportedly paid accused sex trafficker Joel Greenberg $900 in 2018 The transactions were made late at night via Venmo, The Daily Beast reported Early the next morning Greenberg distributed $900 to three women None of the women were under the legal age of consent. One of the women, 18 at the time, is now working as a porn actress Gaetz and Greenberg are both connected through Venmo to the woman. Greenberg is being investigated for $300,000 in suspicious expenses. Gaetz's friend is in jail, but is cooperating and will likely take a plea deal. That move will put more legal pressure on the embattled Florida Republican. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9452025/Matt-Gaetz-paid-accused-sex-trafficker-Joel-Greenberg-900-Venmo-paid-three-women-app.html

Never get discouraged if you fail. Learn from it. Keep trying. 2. Learn with both your head and hands. 3. Not everything of value in life comes from books- experience the world. 4.

The Conservative/Religulous think that by hiding a woman's beauty that they can drive down the population growth. They live by old, male-dominant ways.. The Taliban talk about "virgins in.heaven" because every girl-woman just becoming such are impregnated...so the "virgin" is rare in their culture. .If a man is "ready" (in a conservative/religious culture) a woman should "submit" and bear a child whether she's ready or not...hence they also oppose abortion; but they don't connect the dots and realize 99% of unwanted kids become prison inmates/ burdens to society. They don't realize their anti-abortion/anti-family planning strategies are encouraging our growth. They're right in one way...we are zooming in population growth. 150 more births, than deaths, per minute. 9000 more per hour. 216,000 more per day. 1,512,000 per week. If we don't get this growth under control...we're doomed. https://www.worldometers.info

Meanwhile they're finding traces of plastics in our favorite natural recyclers - Ants - and they are finding plastic-filled ant bodies in nearly every remote location - and they are suffering for it.
