As Margaret Thatcher used to say, the facts of life are conservative.

Bono learned enough about economics to accumulate a net worth of about 700 million dollars.

I've despised Bono since the 90s when he berated GW Bush for not giving enough of my money to Africa.

Being a millionaire socialist is an inherintly hypocritical and stupid position.

Day late and a dollar short dope.

So it had nothing to do with U2 song-writing?

Uh huh, so that’s why U2 incorporated in The Netherlands rather than their native Ireland, eh Boner?

A little late, this has been a proven fact all along.

It only took him 65 years to grow up. But at least he did.

For successful entertainers, the hard part tends to be knowing how to keep and grow their earnings into substantial wealth. That is where sense about money and economics is required, a set of skills that is far apart from being a good songwriter and performer.

"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.

Guess he figured out that since he's rich, he has "resources" that will be taken away from him and squandered by the pols who will redistribute it to themselves. Took him long enough.

Well, to his credit, there really isn’t any occupation more distant from cronyism and corruption than rock star.
