          Yep. For that you need a finance industry, so you can get people to give you money they haven’t even earned yet. The important thing is you don’t stop spending or else the whole thing collapses

        I wonder if adguard for desktop or portmaster would be helpful for this issue. I can’t get portmaster to work on my system, mostly because some of its processes require the execution of BAT files, my antivirus will block those.
