I've always hated this lib. Now, maybe slightly less.

U2 singer Bono says he realized commerce and capitalism help poor people, not the redistribution of resources"I ended up as an activist in a very different place from where I started. I thought that if we just redistributed resources, then we could solve every problem. I now know that’s not true," Bono explained.
"There’s a funny moment when you realize that as an activist: The off-ramp out of extreme poverty is, ugh, commerce, it’s entrepreneurial capitalism," he added. "I spend a lot of time in countries all over Africa, and they’re like, eh, we wouldn’t mind a little more globalization actually. I would point out that there has been a lot of progress over the years."
He went on to point out that businesspeople are heroes because they bring jobs to communities.
"Capitalism is a wild beast. We need to tame it," Bono said. "But globalization has brought more people out of poverty than any other -ism. If somebody comes to me with a better idea, I’ll sign up. I didn’t grow up to like the idea that we’ve made heroes out of businesspeople, but if you’re bringing jobs to a community and treating people well, then you are a hero. That’s where I’ve ended up."

And since very few Americans are, by the administrations definition, "up to date", then the majority of Americans who die of all causes this winter will not be "up to date."
