Sorry! I fail to see the context. Would they like someone to run their lives for them or something?

America has 320 million people. The GDP of the entire world is $84,537,000,000,000. To give each American 1 million you would need $320,000,000,000,000. The truth is all of us are living off the massive inequality present in the world. Bezos just has a greater share of the inequality than the rest of us.

Instead of making an Alexa joke in a rather exquisite display poor taste, I will say that I think the USA needs to reform its system for handling the homeless. Half those people are simply guilty of crimes & need to be locked up. The other half should not be forced to degrade themselves further by being locked in a steeple with the other half over night if they want a place to stay.

He literally couldn't. If you're referring to the yacht, there are more than 500 Americans. If you're referring to his "wealth," it's mostly Amazon stock where if he tried to dump it, the price would tank anyway.

Both claims are bullshit. Well, there are three bullshit claims there.

As as disgustingly rich as Bezos is from exploiting underpaid workers, some people need to be more responsible with their money and are learning the hard way.

Nobody should have to work for wages that can't support a single person, much less a family.
