Apple opens Red Cross donations towards Louisiana flood relief
Apple on Friday launched donations to the American Red Cross via iTunes and the App Store, spurred by the flooding in Louisiana which has forced thousands of victims out of their homes and caused widespread property damage.
People can donate in increments of $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, or $200. Apple notes that the full amount of each donation will go to the Red Cross, but that charitable givers can't use any existing iTunes credit.
Apple will often enable iTunes donations for well-publicized disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Just this May, Canadians were able to send money to the Canadian Red Cross for relief of the forest fires around Fort McMurray, Alberta.
The Red Cross has become Apple's de facto partner for iTunes donations, despite the presence of other charities in global relief efforts.

This is, of course, assuming that planes can be arranged to pick them up directly at the golf course and asylum respectively.
If the feds declare a natural disaster people without insurance may receive financial assistance to recover but then are required to maintain the affordable insurance, however there is little to no enforcement and by the time there is another disaster their insurance may have lapsed. There is some legislation proposed to end this affordable insurance for the high risk areas and no longer permit rebuilding in flood prone zones.
How dare there be flooding during Obama's golf game!
Maybe he can spare 5 minutes of his time, to say a few meaningless comments to the press, and then it's hop right back on the golf cart, and get back to what really matters!
Until the next disaster strikes of course, which will no doubt occur during another golf game, at which time, he'll be ready to take another 5 minutes worth of his time again.
The last time the community organizer opened their mouth, he was caught in a huge lie. The money to Iran was indeed a ransom, no matter what words these corrupt crooks choose to call it and no matter how much they lie about it.
Hillary is probably spending the weekend in an old age home, with oxygen tanks, recovering from a busy week, while Trump is busy being Trump, actually caring about the country and being on top of things 24-7, unlike the other frauds.
What a couple of humanitarians Obama and Hillary are!
(Why is there no option to donate $400,000,000?)
The guy who rocked up.
With a truck.
Handing out water and diapers.
For free.
Didn't do enough...compared to the individuals who didn't even turn up.
The nerve of that Trump guy!
Nobody wants her there stealing any of the shit that gets given to the people of Louisiana.
(>_<)
Pathetic that useless one-inchers can't make it through a day without needing to bring Obama into everything.
I was in that situation when traveling abroad and a friend found someone with my blood type to save my life.
