- Trencin 3y agoLove your children, and give them a safe and strong family to grow up in. Isn't that a fundamental part of raising a happy human being.
- foogazi 3y agoYes, and if for whatever reason you are not around how would you like society to act towards your children?

Where people don't live in constant fear and material insecurity which makes it impossible to sleep without getting fucking blitzed, and where you're too busy working every hour god sends in miserable conditions, to build or maintain a supportive social network. What, those aren't the priorities of Jeff Bezos? Huh.... Surprised to learn that, given the rosy conditions at amazon warehouses.
