This is the best Iranian/Middle Eastern restaurant I’ve found in Taipei. And it’s very reasonably priced—only NTD 599 per person. The chef is from Iran, and they switched from à la carte to all-you-can-eat buffet last year. The kebab and baba ganoush they serve are heavenly.

If you're wondering what Herbalife is doing in Mongolia with its recent donation, it's been active in the state compressed between China and Siberian Russia for several years.

Could be a flight of capital into this
Hey you're failing in your assessment metrics if you're willing to award a fraudulent business model certification.
Just saying.

I hate seeing an MLM leader exploiting the death of her husband to challenge the doubt participants have in the business.
It's an awful ploy, but also demonstrates her grief in losing her husband. MLM is straight awful for all involved.

This Tate cleanse is all going well for us.
The only cleanse that seems to be working.

The idea of breaking someone down to build them back up is not a quality of a well-trained leader - in fact, that person is not a leader.
They're an abuser.
And they will continue that behavior.
Please be warned.

Hmm, sounds like an alignment with Fitzpatrick's comments. Even though there may be differences among activists, the goals remain the same - these schemes have major issues that continue to be masked by deceptive actions and coordination of these outfits.

Indeed, I still am waiting for you to explain, in proper form, the actual method used to reclassify these preferred customers (done seemingly in response to the FTC Herbalife decision).

When Bill Keep shows up to shake the chains of the , I'm right there behind him. The buyback policy is indeed necessary but not sufficient to resolving the issues and pressures in MLMs
Returns are difficult, namely due to the clawback harm to trusted uplines (at the time)

Gentlemen (, ), respectfully, may I also remind you that for every "microentrepreneur" you have in your district, you have dozens of people burned by these false opportunities.
Get to know your constituents, please.

I'm here for the phantom opportunity era of consumer protection regarding MLMs by - Robert has done immeasurable work in unpacking the false notion of MLMs as a "business."

American stories seem more important than stories of MLM told in other parts of the world, but please listen to all voices.
The international MLM market is riddled with far more harm.

To all those opining on what is being covered in classrooms without knowing the actual lesson material:
You're only showing your ignorance and bigotry towards the topic of "concern."

If online coaches could please stop selling both “it’s your fault you’re sick/broke/unhappy” and “just be you” that would be great, thank you.

When it comes to the "victims" of cults, I want people to remember it's not about social media credit, Victim Olympics or making money telling a story. That's all just social bullshit in the post-cult life.
The permanent damage of humanj predators is measured in broken souls.

Something not discussed enough openly in the ex-cult world is that some cult victims don't recover. Some people are driven to a point where they cannot reconnect with reality like before, so they have to stay in the cult mindset.
This is a real thing.

Does it frighten anyone else that Florida represents the demographic predictor of the US for the next decade (2025-2035)?

The world would be a much better place if everyone and their mom could understand that a hierarchical structure is not the same as a pyramid scheme.
Capitalism sucks, but at least you're not buying into an expired lottery.

MLMs are a vicious system that tempt you with support, and life-changing products - it's no wonder people go in for more after being burned several times before.

Every year, the wellness world hawks “cleanses,” often liquid diets that mainly consist of vegetable and fruit juices...But there is scant evidence to back any of these claims.

Hey this would also be a great reason to use Section 5(m)1(b). These calls negatively impacted the market with their deceptive claims.
