Weight loss surgery is expensive upfront compared to T2 Diabetes treatments, but in the long run, it's a cost benefit.
Politicians don't want to have their name associated with the temporary increased spending when they run for re-election.
Leftists scream that insurance companies have "death panels", but refuse to admit that people die under socialized medicine due to politics.
As you scroll down the Apple Product RED page, it's a bit odd that they only tell the truth at the very bottom.
All through the page, they promote it in a neutral non-specific way.
Why are they doing this?
Why not be honest from the very beginning of the page, in the first bit?

BTW, I know that SPLC has targetted non-whites with their BS.
The point I was making is that most of their "donations" in the west are to leftist groups, with only a tiny portion actual humanitarian issues.
You said that Apple was donating to the west, even though it wasn't. All they did was change their rules and start allowing donations through Apple Pay, Itunes and the App Store.
Other than giving to SPLC and other leftist groups, they gave $1 million to the local forest fire.
Other than that, they give to Haiti and Africa.
I wouldnt drink the saliva or the Blood of Any cow, just like I wouldnt drink the milk out of a Cat or a dog. For ethical reasons, only vegetable milks here please!
Each almond that makes up your almond milk requires 5 liters of water to produce it.

As for drinking cow's milk, it's very good for you, especially if you are white. Non-whites tend to be lactose intolerant, while whites evolved to be able to drink milk to help us with Vitamin D and Calcium.
If you live in the north or south part of the globe and are white, then drinking milk is beneficial for you especially in the winter when the sun is farther away from you.
Ok, let's try this again.
Excluding the one-off donation for the forest fire in their area, they only give to leftist hate groups like SPLC. Sandra Bullock (one of many celebs) gives more to actual charities than Apple.
They do give for hurricane relief, but they give to Haiti, not the US and other western countries.
They are completely dishonest about RED and bury the truth in the small print. This is their biggest charity and they don't even give to it. All the money comes from sales of RED products.
The PR is in the truth about the company.
I do NOT dispute that 1 charity (forest fire). I said as much in the next sentence, where I said that Sandra Bullock gave the same amount. It's a pathetic amount considering how wealthy the company is. Apple gave the same (once) as they give SPLC annually.
I dispute the rest though unless we're talking about Haiti.
I think Trump should keep him, but hire a 2nd special counsel to investigate Mueller and co.
RED might be sold worldwide, but it's the west that is their main consumer.
Your links were about Apple doing charity collections through their App Store and Itunes. It wasn't about them donating to the charity. That is why I mentioned the bank and the post office. Apple only collects the money that others have donated. I wonder if they keep 30% like they do with everything else.
AGAIN, Apple isn't donating to the other charities. They are only facilitating the ability for others to donate through Apple Pay, the App Store, and Itunes.
Sandra Bullock gave the same amount to the forest fire fund as Apple. Other celebs have also given as much or more.
Apple gave the SPLC and other leftist groups more money than they have to other things in the west. Most of their money goes to Haiti after a hurricane.
Apparently, some freak liberals have decided that "baby" is evil and that the correct word is "theyby".
The idea is that gendering a baby is akin to verbal/mental rape.
Question: Since toddler has the male name Todd in it, isn't that also verbal/mental rape?
We're getting a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and vaginalists are upset about it.
They aren't butt hurt about blackwashing Buffy. They don't care about that because de-whiting a character is always wonderful to the left.
The vaginalists are butt hurt that such an iconic movie/show is being updated. Hmm. Sounds like complaints we've heard about other movies/shows that the left called us names over. Anita Sarkeesian is leading the charge.
Shocking, I know. Trevor Noah supports the US putting Japanese in concentration camps in WW2. He believes that your nationality is your race.
France won the soccer world cup. France has blacks on their team because they are French nationals. Trevor said that Africa won the world cup because of this, not France. If you are black, you are African, not part of the country you were born in or naturalized in.
So, using Trevor's logic, the Japanese were rightfully put in concentration camps because they could never be Americans. According to his logic, there's no such thing as "African-Americans", there are only Africans.
Apple doesn't promote sales of their non-RED phones as going to charity.
Me donating to a charity through Apple Pay, isn't quite the same as Apple donating to that charity. Are you saying that every time I write a check and mail it to the charity that my bank and the post office are also donating to the charity?
The same applies to Apple allowing donations through Itunes.
The most you can say is that Apple created "storefronts" for some situations such as natural disaster relief and doled out the money collected to charities, such as the various national Red Cross charities. For the rest, Apple only changed the rule banning donation buttons in apps.
It's nice of Apple to donate $1 million to the area they live in after the forest fires. You do get that $1 million for that forest fire was less than 0.1% of the total cost of the forest fire and that's quite generous on my part because the forest fire was well over $1 Billion. That's probably more than they paid in taxes worldwide that year.
Apple gave $1 million to the SPLC, which is a leftist group that falsely accuses people of being nazis. They give to other leftist groups as well.
If Apple paid it's fair share of taxes, they'd do more for society the tiny bits you are bragging about them doing.
Which one of those western charities is Apple's?
The left loves the dictionary fallacy (picking and choosing which definitions they like and don't).
They changed the definition of racism so that western blacks can't be racist because they aren't in power.
If you point out that blacks are in power in Africa and they abuse whites, leftists again change the definition so that whites are still the bad guys and blacks are still the victims.
When will these ass clowns stop changing the definition of words to suit their narratives?!
Hmm, so they don't care about all black Africans with HIV/AIDS.
However, the premise still stands. They don't care about whites around the world with HIV/AIDS.
They support black Africans, despite the way whites in Africa are being treated.
The quran, therefore Allah/god, calls "the people of Lot" (homosexuals) an abomination.
The matter is settled.
Sex outside of marriage is not allowed in islam.
Gays can not get married in islam.
Sure, in the hadith, you can be gay, but you are not allowed to act upon it in any way, EVER. Even looking at another man in a homosexual context, is enough to get you thrown off a tall building. It's the same as the christian BS of "love the sinner, hate the sin".
I got that, but they are being dishonest with that.
It's called a "lie by omission".
To be truthful, it would be called "global fund, paid for by white people, to fight AIDS only for black Africans".
A long time ago, it was agreed that we were going to try (not really enforce) a no swearing rule for thread titles.
Leftists keep telling us how shitty the US system is while praising the world's NHS system, namely the UK's.
In England and Wales, they recently announced that they are to stop doing 17 quality of life surgeries, such as tonsil removal and carpal tunnel surgeries.
The NHS is loaded with politics and dirty dealings, such as falsely canceling someone's appointment and claiming it was the patient, as well as not allowing treatments due to cost while allowing other treatments that aren't beneficial because it's for the whamens as as a decade ago with the supposed miracle cure breast treatment that cost a fortune and did very little and only helped a certain type of breast cancer.
