How can Jeff Bezos make $77B during the pandemic yet deny his workers sick and hazard pay, plus try to make it hard for Amazon workers to unionize? His being “charitable” doesn’t make up for that. No amount of private charity can compensate for a basic lack of economic justice.

Never a truer word was spoken. Many of world's worst Human Beings, past & present, hoard their wealth built on backs of the poor & vulnerable.. then drip feed a little of their hoard in the name of charity. They call themselves philanthropists. I call it inhumane & gaslighting.

Idk enough about economics to say for sure but it may have something to do with how the value of "products" is determined and that it can change daily. I think he could be worth $77B today and $1M tomorrow if too many of his holdings are all of a sudden perceived to be worthless

Charity in general is a scam, it hide things, ever wonder why churches and politicians encourage charity but never discuss real solutions like #UniversalBasicIncome or even raising the minimum wage? Bezos's charity is a scam of highest order.

You misworded, "basic lack of economic justice". What he lacks in, is basic lack of human morality, humanity and decency. In other words, this psychopath has no empathy, or conscience, cares nothing about people, at all.

Most "philanthropist" charity is just passing money to friends or funding things that benefit themselves. Frankly until people like Bezos no longer exist workers will never have the rights they're owed

I got a better one, what about Amazon not helping the Trump administration with distribution of Covid-19 vaccines. You got to remember it’s all about politics and power. If you continue to believe anything else it shows ignorance.

Ahhh the million dollar question! Why on earth can’t CEO’s divide up those excessive salaries with the hard working employees??? How much MORE money does he need? WT? If he just divided up his BONUS!!! Greed pure and simple!
