Lol..that's so funny because some of the other "legitimate" companies I know basically thinks like this too aside from Home Depot. And I guess it makes sense why. If anyone here is ever involved in management or some type of management training....you know that the people underneath you plays an important role in your success. In a way, it is a inverse pyramid. If they don't do their job, that's basically like saying you're not doing your job effectively. Not that you are, but point is....if you're a leader or manager of some type, you're most likely to get the blame if something goes wrong. Funny how you brought up the funnel. I never thought about it that way before. If a business is a pyramid, bad. If a business is a inverse pyramid, that's bad too. If a crypto-currency is becoming too centralized, that's hitting a rough spot. If a crypto-currency is becoming too decentralized same thing. When it comes to "systems".. Centralized Systems vs Decentralized Systems ..it turns out, balance, matters most in any type of system or structure. Fairness matters most. When the trustless becomes trustworthy....that says something. When the so called "trustees" becomes trustless, that says somethings as well. Their is no way to tell if a system or structure is actually trust worthy unless you're in the system yourself or their is enough evidence to back up "fairness".

Also I love how you need like 10k to join them shits like that one company selling garbage leggins while you could just go to any used clothes shop and buy literally kilograms of Lularou or whatever its called for few dollars and resell it without joining shit, this way you can actually make a buck out of it (but keep in mind considering the absolute garbage quality of their products, selling each pair for like a dollar or two would probably be the only way to get rid of it). Its that simple and yet people (well women mostly) eat that shit up and just spend thousands of dollars for a "licence" to sell terrible clothes that they have to pay retail price to even get... how moronic you have to be to not only miss that its a pyramid scheme but also not see that you could do the same thing on your own and literally make like 2000% more profit by just reselling used clothes...

It was so difficult, finishing watching this. I was raging internally. I've had people from 3 different MLMs try to recruit me. The first one, Reliv, waa before id ever heard the term "Multi Level Marketing scheme". I passed on that one because I was 300+lbs and they wanted me to sell a product based on its weight loss and health benefits. I told them I couldn't sell it to myself, let alone other people. I got wise when they said I didn't have to sell the product to make money, that I could just make money off recruiting. They wanted me to push this shit on everyone I knew which I found suspicious and annoying. I listened to one of their stupid conferences calls. They all sounded indoctrinated. It was weird. And this doctor that supposedly developed their product was conveniently in a different country so you couldn't talk to him. Their product was a supplement and so wasn't regulated by the FDA or anything. No one i spoke with could give me anything more than vague suggestions on what it might help with. No specific treatments for specific anything (seeing this video explained why). And they wanted a ton of money for one of these stupid starter kits and I wasnt willing to come off it. A friend of mine got bilked by Herbalife. While he was selling it, he told me all about how it had helped him lose weight. Told me he'd replaced his daily Dr. Pepper intake with it. I was like "duh, sodas are super bad for you. Look at me." He was damn near fanatical about it. Next time I saw him, he'd gotten wise and stopped selling it. Thankfully they didn't get him for more than a few hundred bucks. I hate these MLMs. It's so predatory. Its upsetting how many people they trick per year.

I also didn’t lose “too much” money ($650 really was too much for me back then though. I was making $16k a year and very desperate for money) so I was eventually able to claw my way out of that mess.

The company's entire shtick is helping people balance their budgets. Something you can literally do yourself. 3. They ask you to sign up for an app that you pay $100 a month towards. 4. They played an orientation video entirely dedicated to pointing out how they're NOT a pyramid scheme or scam. 5. They asked me not to tell any of my family members about them, as family members get "overprotective." By the time they gave me #5, I noped the hell out of it.

Best part about the recruiting nonsense? I once got called by a recruiter who said they got my information from my old school. I had just finished university and had no idea why they would give my contacts. In another situation, they said it was via a mutual friend who said I was looking for a new job. I hadn't seen or spoken to that friend in over a year. So yeah, the first thing they did was lie.

A friend of mine was talking to me about a former highschool classmate that became a door to door tupperware salesman. He started explaining how said former classmate made money, such as recruitment, and when I tried explaining that what he is describing sounds like an MLM scheme and he went into a state of cognitive dissonance and completely denied entertaining the idea. It was good that he was just leaving because things immediately became awkward. It's pretty shocking that, despite how well known they are, so many people really don't know what an MLM is.

If you had picked almost any other essential oil you would have been right on the money but Tea Tree is actually good for fungus and acne. It's antifungal, antiseptic (which helps get the redness out of spots) and anti inflammatory. We do know it works but you can't pattent a naturally occurring chemical so there is no brand names. Plenty of generic in the pharmacy though.

It's funny because I just posted the very same thing. Back in the Spain in the 80's when I was a kid there was a company that used to make direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical products and my mom used to buy this topical product called Bactotal that my family used for everything and was almost magical. In the mid-nineties the company went out of business and they took the product's formula with them. For years my mother tried to find anything like it to no avail. Then one day, while attending college in the US, my girlfriend was putting some sort of oil on her leg for a big big bite and I recognized the smell instantly: tea tree oil extract, something that in the 80s in the Spain was hardly known. Eventually we were able to duplicate the exact formula, which was mostly tea tree oil with a little bit of lemon and eucalyptus extract for smell My mother died back in 2014 and I still have 4 bottles of the last batch she made.

There are actual scientific studies on the use of plant extracts as medicine. I mean, goodness, all the way through WWII (and likely beyond) almost all medication was made from plants. Want aspirin? Extract it from willow. Want heart medicine? Get it from foxglove. Now we isolate a compound or two that is in such plants, and synthesize it to make those medicines. Sometimes, though, the whole plant might be a better option because there's complimentary compounds in the plants that help the medicine function more effectively. That being said, the only essential oil I use is peppermint oil. I dribble that anywhere I don't want mice. They HATE it. I also grow mint around my structures for the same reason. I also sometimes use it if we're sick to help with breathing. Other than that, if I need medicine from a plant, I eat it or drink it as a tea. Essential oils can be dangerous in their potency, and if I want the powers of oregano or lavender, I'll just go eat them. It's much harder to overdose that way.

The thing I love about this channel is that it is reality based and informative, not ideological. I'm impressed with the knowledge you have about such a wide range of subjects. And I love that everything is straightforward and no-nonsense. So when you lumped tea tree oil's uses together with strange claims about blue light, I glitched a little, because I thought those were true ( the tea tree, not the blue light!) I googled and apparently Wedmd and the Mayo clinic confirm that there seems to be evidence for its anti-fungal uses. My own personal experience is that for insects, it is the next best thing to 100% deet, which you can't get anymore. And I care deeply about the effectiveness of my insect repellent! Sooo, just because someone unreliable says it, doesn't mean it is false.

You wanna know what I've found to have strange anti-fungal properties? Dog saliva. Had bad athlete's foot when I played baseball as a teen. Came home one day and took off my socks and shoes and just sat for a minute. My feet were on fire. My dog that I'd had since early childhood and had gotten for free from a shelter just walked up and sniffed my feet before she started licking them. I was too tired to be very forceful in telling her no and by the time I worked up the energy to do so I noticed the part of my foot she was licking didn't burn at all. It made me curious so I let her keep going. She sniffed out all the fungus and I guess she kinda ate it all right off my feet. She knew exactly where it was and didn't lick above the ankle, either she knew it was bothering me or she found it delicious, I still don't know. When she was done she just walked off and my feet felt normal. I'd never been more surprised by anything. I'd never even heard rumors that dog saliva could do anything for anyone. After that any time I had a flare up I'd do the same thing before I showered and combined with putting my cleats and shoes in plastic bags and leaving them in the freezer overnight I stopped having athlete's foot for long periods of time. Wasn't permanent and I still had to freeze the shoes or wash them, but yeah it was surprisingly effective. And as far as immediate relief goes I've yet to find an athlete's foot spray or powder that does a better job than a dog's tongue. It's probably got something to do with how strong the bacteria in a dog's mouth is so it's not without risk if you have an open blister on your foot or something but it can help. So don't pay for fungus relief, get a free dog and just be weird.

I'm an A/V engineer with 40 years of experience. If I had a dime for every time I've sat at the back of a dimly lit ballroom and listened to Amway and/or other con men selling some variation of a Ponzi scheme at a low rent Holiday Inn on a beautiful Saturday, I'd own our galaxy. I finally came to a conclusion about the folks doing the shill. They would stand up there and show slides of their perfect family, mansion, Mercedes, island, space program, or whatever in that low rent Holiday Inn on a Saturday, and I finally asked myself why they were doing that, and not back at the mansion water skiing on dolphins with their blonde trophy wife and 2.5 kids? It seems like they already have enough to get through their twilight years, and they didn't seem overly greedy. In fact, most didn't do a complete hard sell, but rather played them like a Southern Baptist tent revival evangelist, alternating between praising them for their obvious smarts and financial savvy for merely wandering into the room, showing them the "hard numbers"(possibly the most common and repeated phrase across all meetings over the years) in a soft way, then revving them up to an emotional feel-good peak, the highest of which signaled the end of my ennui and got me ready to bug out. My conclusion was that they were there because it was who they were on a basic level, people with a deep need to convince other people of the righteousness of their crusade buy informing the American public that they are millionaires in waiting, and that it takes hard work plus believing in yourself to get there. The hard sell was that if you weren't successful the only reason was you weren't trying or believing hard enough. The religious overtones were heavy, as the overwhelming majority were righteous and upstanding in the eyes of The Lord, many born again Christians. Damn. If I had all that time back it would add up to 10 years. Fun fact: Reaganomics was the largest Ponzi scheme in human history, transferring all the money from the middle class at the base up to the 1% from 1980 until the money ran out in 2008, nearly destroying our country, much less the economy.

@@TheAlison1456 Typically we call things that emit ionizing radiation, to be radioactive. You are emitting ionizing radiation. You emit a bit of gamma radiation, as well as a tiny bit of beta radiation. Alpha radiation produced in you almost always gets re-absorbed by you, so almost no alpha radiation will be emitted by you. The only way you wouldn't be emitting Ionizing radiation would be if you only have stable isotopes of atoms in you. Almost everything you interact with, unless purified to only contained stable isotopes, is a tiny bit radioactive. Eating a banana will give you a radiation dose. In fact a funny unit used is the Banana Equivalence Dose (BED); which is about equal 0.1 µSv; or about 10^-7 Sv. A chest X-ray is about 200 BED.
