gwalchmai Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I always considered Bono to be a leftist loon, but if this is any indication we may see more things alike than I thought. https://www.lifezette.com/2019/01/capitalism-has-taken-more-people-out-of-poverty-than-any-other-ism-says-bono/ “Capitalism is not immoral — it’s amoral. It requires our instruction,” he said, according to The Irish Times. “Capitalism has taken more people out of poverty than any other ‘ism.’ But it is a wild beast that, if not tamed, can chew up a lot of people along the way.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The wild card now is robotics and AI... I think a lot of jobs are going away. A lot. Used to be more productivity meant more jobs. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peng Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I thought the same thing, but then I saw he was at Davos this year, which is an elite money industry convention. To be clear, I wish he was performing there but alas, not to be. Not that I even mind musicians having opinions about things (we all do). I am bothered when people think their opinions mean more than someone else's just because they are rich and famous. Just one rendition of Bad from Wide Awake in America, then he can talk the rest of the day about other crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Paid or not, he is speaking to a group of Capitalists. I wouldn't expect him to condemn them, so to agree with them with caveats, would seem to be judicious on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
