Then what happens after those 3 years? Nevermind what would happen if Bezos liquidated 100% of his stock.
There are side effects of him creating such wealth. Maybe you can’t see them directly but they are there. Advances made in tech allow for people everywhere in the world to benefit. Look at smart phone penetration which allows people knowledge, greater communication, etc.
None of this comes about by what you’re commenting on. Take a look at the Gates foundation and how many tens of billions which are pledged by the world richest.
It’s very easy to judge and comment from the stands. I’d love to see what your daily activities are to help the world’s poorest. I’d dare say what they want is a job that comes from foreign investment rather than a sack of UN grains for the month’s rations.
- danjoc 9y agoIt seems you guys missed the point of the comment. It's not a generic rant about Bezos being rich. That would be against HN posting guidelines. Bezos has enough money to feed the world BUT doesn't even pay his own employees enough to feed themselves. "Evil corporations" like AT&T and Comcast have taken their Trump tax windfall to pay bonuses to all hands. Amazon takes the money and pockets it... while their employees are food insecure.
