Yes $100M is a lot of money, but:
1) Bezos spent $5.5B to go to space for 4 min
2) Had Bezos & Amazon simply paid their taxes—that would've been ~$25B over the last 3 years alone

Taxation of billionaires > philanthropy from billionaires

@QasimRashid How many people remember Alfred Nobel as the industrialist who got rich selling high explosives? Dynamit Nobel AG is still in operation over 150 years later; Nobel also owned Swedish foundry and arms manufacturer AB Bofors, now part of BAE.

@QasimRashid Two words; Tax writeoff. They don't actually care about people or environment or anything else except protecting their profits & personal privileges. It's disgusting.
