A person with defect genes for truth and compassion and a low IQ is
performing as Presitator? Doesn't that look like the most extreme case
of DEI in the whole world? #DEI-donnie

Someone with a business mind will set up an Android Development Company
and register that with Google. Then will sell anonymous developer access

That seems to be what most companies do, regardless of if it's actually
