Hyperbole much???

Bono is truly off his meds, or high on 'something'...

U2 frontman and longtime global activist Bono took a swing at the Trump administration disbanding the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, blaming the cuts for a staggering 300,000 deaths.

And he was swiftly fact-checked by Rogan and Elon Musk in a takedown that lit up social media.

"This will f--- you off," Bono warned, claiming tens of thousands of tons of food are "rotting" in warehouses from Djibouti to Houston because of recent USAID cuts, and that the people who ran those warehouses have been fired.

Full article, HERE from Yahoo News.

His 'data' came from the hypotheticals from this study HERE. Now if you go look at their methodology, they seem to base it on WHO, UN, and various articles/models. I tried to 'follow' what they were doing, but it didn't click for me...

So Bono took a 'study' that is nothing more than a 'model' of what 'may' happen and translated that into 300,000 deaths laid at Trump/Doge feet...

He seems to have cherry picked 'which' data he wanted to use. From Fox, HERE, is a fairly clear statement of what is going on and why.

I don't think anybody actually believes that ALL of the USAid programs were good, and there is no question that the mission has 'drifted' from the original concept. That is one reason to realign it and put it under State, who has better controls and, IMHO, a better boots on the ground feel for what is necessary.

Now there was some truth in what he said, in that thousands of tons of food is missing/rotting in various places. We've mentioned before how you can go to the souks in the 3rd world and find US Aid food for sale, still in the original packages. It is also proven the warlords in Africa are known to wait until food/aid is delivered, then stealing it for their own use, leaving the natives to starve.

When the hurricane hit Puerto Rico a few years ago, the US Aid provided pallets of water, desperately needed by the locals. Two years later, that same water STILL sat in warehouses where it had been unloaded because there was never a distribution system set up to actually deliver it!

And who knows how much money has gone to organizations/people/countries that never got to the people it was supposed to help? I doubt we will ever know...
