BealABC Everything and anything then

rape the land & get away with it, only answer with lawyers present...

Uhmmm🤔 But that’s what every business and or company in the world does...🤷‍♂️ Why do you think they hire teams of lawyers? Bend the rules until just before they snap... Normal business practise, nothing to see here... move along!
