I do not understand, this man speaks about a global product just because he is sick then he sells it. 😂Selfish but lucky that he has money and can cure himself, maybe if it hadn't happened to him? Not it He would have done it.

I think chris rock covered this company well. He said they have a sign in the windows of their stores declaring that they oppose "racism." And then they sell jogging pants for $100. Rock said the people in his audience would prefer some racist jogging pants for $20. So would I.
