No way am I going to help them by testing prescription drugs...They'll probably raise the price of prescription drugs

I think that I wrote something below 3 or more times.
First
Daddy Getty when he was a live was some kind of rich collector and he was blackmailed with Mafia.
Because of that how he can avoid that he made public Foundation.
As in term of any Foundation is that it is to be sustainable as itself.
This is more visible as GettyImages site which can even afford that to by iStock site.

Second
Somehow Getty Foundation which is sustainable as it self which is not on free market with somehow process was purchased with murky Offshore lets say "investors" H&F.

Third
Seam As is
H&F = hidden mafia which came back to take easy money
This is front end
--------------------
For contributor back end is constantly lowering commissions throwing sand in the contributors eyes and selling the story of exclusivity and unsustainability?! what?!
What is meaning of exclusivity if license is RF even if it available for selling on one site?!
Even RM is not so exclusive.
Anyhow H&F is sckin Getty> Getty is sckin iStock> iStock is cheating us contributors.
