I am able to read much much faster for myself than to have someone else read to me. I expect this applies to most people over the age of 7. Would you please publish a written list of your advice that I can read for myself, instead of taking all the time to watch videos, where actors read advice to me?

God to know about protective measure for small businesses. What about protecting a consumer who has no way but use local small businesses, and results overwhelmingly negative, and be afraid of even reporting for retaliation. Please advise at local and state levels if possible. Thank you.
