The alternative isn't that the money sits in a bank account. The better alternative would be that those 500M went to Amazon employees instead of the CEO. The employees could have used it to buy nice winter boots for their kids. Probably a lot more useful than yet another boat dumping tons of toxic waste into the ocean.
- fastball 5y agoYou are allowed to start a company as a co-op. Feel free to start your own Amazon competitor.
- chucksta 5y agoBoat or bank are the only two current realistic alternatives I see. At least the boat builders & associated kids get some new boots. There are thousands of nicer alternatives that aren't going to happen
- radford-neal 5y agoMoney sitting in a bank account is fine. It's not using any real resources sitting there. Of course, he might spend it sooner or later, which would probably be bad for everyone except him. So even better (for everyone but him) would be if he converted the money to paper bills, and then burned them all. That would benefit millions of people. (Exactly who would depend on which country's currency the bills were in.)
