This is such important information. I’m disappointed but not surprised that those in charge of rules & regulations are also those in control of the industry. How these people live with themselves is incomprehensible. Knowledge is power, and we won’t be so easily fooled anymore. Thank you for doing the research and making the truth known.
There is a German word to describe those people. Schadenfreude
Excellent ; Thank You Michael Claisse .
Great video! Super important, love the OB rep
