Gee, wonder why Jeff Bezos just announced he’d maybe possibly give away the majority of his fortune someday? - The Verge

Could it have something to do with how the world’s-fourth-richest-man’s company is reportedly about to announce the biggest job cuts in its history, leaving 10,000 people out of work amidst crippling inflation while he sits on enough money to end hunger in the United States many times over? Because Bezos certainly doesn’t seem to have been all that interested in philanthropy before: this is the notorious cheapskate who “donated” $200 million to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in exchange for 50-year naming rights and they can’t even take his name off if he does something despicable.
