What a piece of shit. Doing this puts pressure on those two to decide what to do with his money.

Just pay your fucking fair share of taxes instead pulling these dumbass PR stunts that dumbfuck sycophants will stick their head up your butt for.

And I don't know, why don't you spend your money on providing better working conditions and wages to your workers.

He literally gave $200M to two CNN employees; one of which people are already having a problem with.

Heres a clearer one

https://www.npr.org/2021/07/20/1018414444/bezos-landed-thanked-amazon-workers-and-shoppers-for-paying-gave-away-200-millio

On Tuesday, after his 11-minute launch to the edge of space, Bezos gave $200 million in "courage and civility awards." The sum is split between chef Jos Andrs and CNN personality and social entrepreneur Van Jones to be given to charities and non-profits of their choice.


Please just think a little before jerking it to the latest outrage porn

"They can give it all to their own charity," Bezos said at a press conference after his trip to space. "Or they can share the wealth. It is up to them."

Damn that. If someone gives me a hunnit mill I'm buying a small island and saying fuck you to the world forever.
