Sorry you're getting downvoted. I just saw a yt video about the Live Aid concert in the 80s and it was just sickening how much today's culture shits on them for trying to help. The comments section was very keen on using the failure as an excuse to not donate ("U2 are millionaires, they should donate instead of asking us to!") and using 40 years of hindsight to absolutely slay the musician who organized the event (Bob Geldof). They raised an enormous amount of money that unfortunately was stolen by an African warlord, and the ones who's hearts were in the right place were hung out to dry over it. Stuff like that erodes my faith in humanity.

> Sorry you're getting downvoted. Thanks. I knew I'd get downvoted for it. That's why I warned about unpleasantcy in my comment. > They raised an enormous amount of money that unfortunately was stolen by an African warlord, and the ones who's hearts were in the right place were hung out to dry over it. Stuff like that erodes my faith in humanity. Exactly my point, you put it better than my crude comment.
