Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos pledges $10 billion to fight climate change

He could start by not having products delivered in enormous oversized boxes.

Oh, and stop destroying independent bookstores and businesses.

Oh, and stop treating his employees like slaves.

But yes, fighting climate change costs money!

He's just doing it for his brand. Smart to invite him to the Oscars for a guilt trip from River Phoenix and Bad Pitt.

If there's a God, do you really think God would be proud of all the billionaires who held that money for themselves while people died around the world? They're going to be asked why the didnt do more like Schindler in Schindler's List.

Namaste, Jackass.

He's going to do what all the other rich fuckers do. They give the money to already established charities (who do sweet FA). The money will be stolen and pissed away

Anyone remember Zuckerberg donating (pissing away) the $100 MILLION donation he gave to cory fucking booker's Newark School System? Zuck would have been better off by just burning barrels of money to help keep homeless people warm. Or taking all the money in one dollar bills and giving it to poor people to wipe their ass with. That way the money would have been useful. The pieces of shit that run Newark and it's school system are a bunch of thieving cunts

That skank he's shagging looks like her body is full of toxic waste

R3 Yeah, it really needs a sustainable effort of that type of donation to pay the salaries of qualified educators.

Why not make a scholarship fund to fund free Teacher's College education for people of color so they can get into the schools? Community based teaching by teachers that look like the students. Up those salaries and halve those classes. Bring back vocational aspiration programs. Hire more one to one counselors and hold family therapy nights.

The parents are overworked and underpaid so government policies to alleviate that stress would go a long way to creating a better environment for the students. Oh goodness me! That's a NANNY state! My bad. It's far more preferable to to jump over homeless human excrement on the side walk. Let those downtrodden schizophrenics work it out themselves. Maybe they'll jump off a bridge. Can't have that NANNY state, no.

Corporate lawyer here. It's an enormous tax write off and it is still his stock. He controls it. I set these up pretty often for high net worth individuals.

A million VC guy pays almost no taxes. And his foundation pays for his Netjets membership. :(

This actually explains it pretty well.

What's going on in OP's pic? He's not really pretending to be Buddhist is he?

Someone has got to help if we have assholes like Trump denying climate change for the sake of the oil producers.

Don't worry. We're preparing.

Money will be worthless in the climate apocalypse.

R7, is right. Just like bill gates isn't leaving his children "any money"

That's because he's already taken care of them. They were multi millionaires before they turned 18. And they'll have "jobs" (sitting on the board of Microsoft or some charity, where they'll get paid a lot, given cars, access to jets, luxury apartments all over the world and every other kind of perk you can think of), plus they'll be able to write everything else off of whatever taxes they aren't able to legally evade
