#BricksAndMiniFigs have completely RUINED their Brand Reputation over their behavior. For a company supposedly worth hundreds of millions, why couldn’t they do the right thing and either give the LEGO sets back OR give Brian the money he was owed?
Instead, they went out of their way to weaponize law enforcement, continually lie, and act completely immorally—thinking they could BULLY a man out of a collection made over a lifetime. It just shows they don’t love Legos. They love money. They love money SO MUCH that they’re willing to risk their reputation.
Corporations don’t act like this. They should’ve made it right. A contract was signed and should be upheld.
Just the fact that the Owner of the company (and any Board of Directors if they have any) are continuing to try to go after #RecklessBen because he exposed their immoral actions, shows that this company won’t continue to be successful.
Now the entire world knows about what kind of people they are and I highly doubt anyone will want to do business with them. I know that if I had a choice to buy from them or someone else (like selling on eBay or something) I’d go out of my way to NOT give them my business.
Enjoy your worldwide fame Minifigs—although it’s not very positive!
🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile in America
“Look at them crawling out of there - millions of Ticks”
The story is so insane - Farmers continue to report finding Boxes full of Ticks on their farmland, clearly left their on purpose.
Now the US has already seen a sharp increase in the number of Tick related diseases.
@liz_churchill10 Wouldn’t it be so apropos is one of those Ticks got to Bill & made him violently ill to red meat & he could NEVER again eat a nice juicy steak??? 🥩
One tick bite made this man allergic to red meat.
Now over 450,000 Americans are allergic to beef & dairy and the number is rising.
What’s is going on?
Incredible. Bill Gates followed through with this.
“If people would cut down on their meat consumption, we could really help the planet”
“So possibly we can use human engineering to make it the case that we’re intolerant to certain types of meat”
Woman who's raised horses in Ohio for 30 years: “I've never had to deal with these many ticks.”
“I can't take the tick situation anymore. The tick situation in this state, there are ticks everywhere.”
Nearly everyone points the finger at Bill Gates. Why? The Gates Foundation is funding tick research.
They even backed a biotech, Oxitec, to study genetically altering cattle ticks.
Farmers say they're finding whole “boxes of ticks” on their land.
People argue that because Gates funds tick research, a surge in ticks could benefit vaccine and product sales.
There’s a well-documented tick explosion hitting Ohio this spring (of 2026), especially for livestock owners.
Ohio now has a new tick species — from basically one medically important species 20 years ago to five today, some of which expand rapidly.
Lyme cases have exploded: 40 in 2010 → 415 in 2020 → 2,800+ in 2025, with 2026 already looking high.
Keep in mind, a Lyme vaccine is in development — no ticks, no market for it.
You're not going to believe who's making it: Pfizer and Valneva
A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat.
The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking."
Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people.
They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down.
Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure.
Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated.
At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?
“They see the victim and run after them”
So Bill Gates & Co. before releasing millions of Genetically Engineered Ticks into the wild, also programmed them to actively hunt down Humans.
Sounds about right.
Bro they’re not good for the Earth or for peoples HEALTH. It’s literally making people sick. It doesn’t matter how much u try to justify them by stating “economic” positives, there will NEVER be a good justification for something that causes that much destruction to the world and lives of people.
If you love them so much, why don’t you buy your own private land and construct your data centers and live on that land??? Let’s see how well you look in a year after having to live so close to one…then, if we can all deter one that ur in tip-top health after that year period (and verify that you actually lived there & spent a 90% of your time there) and u can prove the health claims wrong, then maybe we’ll consider it.
