Bezos donates $100M to charity the same week Amazon lays off 10,000 workers.

I’m sure that’s a total coincidenceβ€”not a calculated PR stunt to detract from worker exploitation the week before Thanksgiving while reporting a 14.7% increase in 2022 Q3 revenue of $127B.

@QasimRashid what's the chance that said charity belongs to him, and is effectively just another lobbying + tax write off vector?

@QasimRashid I’m sure those 10,000 unemployed Amazon workers are thrilled for Dolly Parton.

@QasimRashid it's also probably a charity that is controlled by him or another one of his billionaire friends and does lobby work for him. Tax evasion, political influence building and PR triple whammy

@QasimRashid Writing a $100m check to Dolly Parton isn't charity, it's a branding exercise.
