WOW! No need to send Trump to prison now. Bezos just gave him the greatest punishment he will

have to endure: a really, really rich man doing good for humanity. Hats off to Bezos who must have delivered a crushing punch to the gut of all the insurrectionists and MAGAs. Congratulations to Van Jones and the Chef! May they make wise decisions in their giving.

…episode, near the end of the series (maybe even the last one? As many times as I have rewatched this series, you’d think I’d know), where CJ is offered “a billion dollars to go fix the world.”

Someone mentions Amazon's poor working conditons and that is your lame-ass response? Pathetic.

Giving away money that he has because he doesn't pay taxes doesn't make him a hero in my view.

Taxes are something that responsible human beings pay to live in a civilized society.

He is where he is because is is not responsible. The money he took out of schools, health care, research, highways, public works, etc., is in no way balanced by throwing money at his fellow celebrities.
