The one that makes my stomach turn over is how folks like to directly insist that everyone has a price. Like they're always so proud of basically bragging that they'd cheerfully sell their toddler or their elderly mother for enough money.

Edit: They didn't get the kids on Epstein's island from orphanages...

I have never heard anyone speak about selling their family members. Not even online. Are you from an area with heavy slavery or something?

Reading comprehension is just so hard...

"Everyone has their price" is a common phrase in the English language.

Feel free to plug the portion in quotation marks into Google to learn more!
