He’s a maga enabler, which is the same. He’s also an enabler of anti science kooks and is directly responsible for moving the country backwards.

Bono has also made it his business to become more educated re: issues that he cares about. Has Rogan?

Bono needs to get over himself. U2 is a great band, but some of the biggest tax avoiders of all time, while crying about the needy. By the way, he almost made $1 billion on the Facebook IPO. Did anyone on here have the same contacts he did?

But is Bono ruining the country and killing children?

I think no.

Stop with false equivalences.

You do know that leaders from USAID and adjacent agencies and NGOs formed a task force two years ago to address the grift of USAID, right? That there is a fraud associated with USAID is not even up for debate. This is a long-known issue. The problem is how to deal with it, and it seems people are not happy with just scrapping and starting over. But the fact remains, there was much fraud happening with those funds. Perhaps it's just a necessary evil, but acknowledging doesn't make someone an "ape."

The US has given billions over the years. The problem is: where has the billions gone?

Bono is charitable and has raised lots of money and likely given a lot. However, he is worth $700 million according to searches. I'd think $100 million could be quite helpful in Africa Aids help. Question is--are those in need getting the help or is it lining pockets of the distributors?

If the USAID funds were actually helping without massive fraud, this argument would be quite different.

Bono has given away a larger share of his money and done far more good for the world than sociopath Elon Musk.

Are you certain of that? SpaceX, Tesla, saving astronauts from space,
How many people does Musk employ compard to Bono?

I'm not questioning that Bono is a good man. But, raising money and giving it away are two different things.

Failing space company, failing car company, terrible employer-- and yet you admire Leon? Why?

He's a bad executive, a non-engineer, and a crappy human being.

All musks half assed work was built on the shoulders of the American taxpayers that he decided to $hit on.

I hope that justice makes it his way before too long, but I’d settle for the drugs winning.

MAGA is now concerned with credentials? Interesting plot twist.

Magic Johnson is still alive. AIDS can be cured with money. He was diagnosed 34 years ago.

He is not cured. He still has the disease, but he also has the best meds money can buy for treatments to depress the progression of the disease. There is no cure for AIDS.

AIDs is the final, advanced stage that results from HIV infection. When the disease was first recognized, everyone called it AIDs because people could not avoid that stage. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people who have lived for decades, healthy, with HIV.

Yes, sought of like hundreds of thousands of people who live with diabetes, hypertension, cancer remission. What's your point, they are not cured like the poster who said that with so much money poured into AIDS it should be over. Just stupid.

I have a career adjacent nonprofits. Pretty much all of them are scams. It’s a total joke.

The first sentence of your post isn't even a sentence.

What is called USAID fraud is spending on programs MAGA disagrees with, period. If these nonprofits are a "scam" have you reported them? File a qui tam lawsuit--you can make a lot of money IF there is a scam.

Google US defense fraud. There's tons of it, and the defense contractors (like Raytheon) still get contracts. When caught they have to pay back money but it's the cost of doing business.
USDA--people love to talk about food stamp fraud but there is plenty of money in things like crop insurance fraud. I sat on a jury where for several years a very large potato farming outfit poisoned its own crops to collect crop insurance benefits, but there are many prosecutions for fraud in that program. Any large agency is subject to some level of fraud, just like in any industry there are individuals and companies who steal.
There has been a problem with USAID working with UN agencies and data sharing to determine fiscal accounting, and there are barriers to suing overseas entities. Guess what--OIG under Biden reported on this. But that staff was not what DOGE definition of "fraud, waste, and abuse" is even about. It's about power, period.

There are entities and people that abuse the nonprofit status, but there are also many that are not scams and serve their purpose.
