Great cause... on paper
You're describing a holocaust survivor, who has donated billions to incredible causes in a negative way. Maybe you should head back to Breitbart, your views aren't welcome here....he’s a Loyal George soros crony.
Great cause... on paper
Sorry to be a buzzkill but -
I am of the opinion bono’s Org that’s owns (red) mishandles most of the $$$ and it becomes his personal slush fund. His politics always stink too and he’s a Loyal George soros crony.

Once a scumbag , always a scumbag.
He also didn’t become the richest rockstar in the world just from U2 ... just saying
Worth a watch imo if you’re open minded to being presented w uncomfortable facts, very eye opening, about an hour long, aptly titled : Bono is evil
Also touches on the time when apple forced users into having a copy of the u2 album on Their devices without their consent
Put that bible down.
Probably better diseases to fight. HIV/AIDS is an incredibly preventable disease, except for maybe the children born to HIV postive parents.WTG Apple! Not sure why this is PRSI worthy, what's political or controversial about raising $200 million to fight a lethal disease? We should all be applauding them.

This is a humanitarian issue. But you managed to politicize it with your hate politics. Congrats!![]()
Show this to compensate for 200 billion dollars in lost net value.
Apple, a longtime supporter of AIDS research through its (RED) partnership, today shared some details on the work (RED) is doing to put an end to AIDS in Africa with the money it raises for the Global Fund.
Since its founding in 2006, (RED) has raised more than $600 million to support the Global Fund, $200 million of which has come from Apple.

Apple sells a selection of exclusive (PRODUCT)RED branded merchandise, and when customers purchase a (PRODUCT)RED device or accessory, a portion of the proceeds is donated to (RED). Apple has been selling (PRODUCT)RED merchandise for years now, and its most recent release is the red version of the iPhone XR.
Apple is (RED)'s largest corporate donor, and in its release today, Apple shared some stories of the HIV-positive caregivers who benefit from the money donated to the Global Fund, and the full article is well worth a read.
The Global Fund has provided money to thousands of facilities in Kenya and seven other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and it's made a huge impact cutting down on the spread of the disease. In 2017, there were 53,000 cases of HIV in Kenya, a major improvement over the number of HIV cases back in 2000 when 9.3 percent of all adults in the country were HIV-positive.
With improved access to HIV treatment through the Global Fund, which provides 17.5 million people with life-saving antiretroviral treatments at the moment of diagnosis, just 4.8 percent of adults in Kenya were HIV-positive in 2017.Apple is planning a major fundraising effort in honor of World AIDS Day, set to take place this Saturday. From December 1 to December 7, $1 of every Apple Pay purchase made at an Apple Store, through the Apple Store app, or on the Apple website will be donated to (RED).
Apple will also turn the Apple logos at many of its retail stores red to raise AIDS awareness, as it has done in past years.

I'd like to see Apple do something towards cancer. They have AIDS somewhat under control. But cancer in not even close to being under control. And considering it killed Steve Jobs, they might want to do some giving in that direction.
Yeah, and if people didn’t go swimming, they wouldn’t drown. And if they didn’t live in multifloor houses they’d wouldn’t die falling the steps. And if they didn’t ride in vehicles or walk across streets they wouldn’t die in crashes.Even if it's unrealistic, what they said regarding the transmission of the disease is entirely correct.
The video is moronic, rambling and incoherent....If you care enough about the subject watch the video and then discuss the contents...
*Your* video guy brings up Trump. You mentioned you wanted to discuss the content of the video, but did you even watch it?I said nothing about trump here. Total Derangement!
The video is moronic, rambling and incoherent.
He starts off saying he's going to at least prove that Bono is the worst douche who's ever lived, if not evil. Then he complains about people overreacting. Hm. He compares Bono to Stalin because they both adopted one name pseudonyms. WFT? Then he says he's not going to claim Bono is a pedophile, and goes on to presents U2 album covers to suggest that he is and then rambles on in this vein for at least 10 minutes.
Come on, this is a really, really stupid video.

Is this satire?If people remained virgins until marriage as they are supposed to, and did not commit adultury or sodomy, sexual transmission of disease would not exist.
