I think that billionaires shouldn't exist and anything done against one is moral and justified for the thousands of people they wrong each day.

If that's the only way to stop them, so be it. They're killing the people AND the planet
I try to purchase from the manufacturer when I can. Sure it takes up to a week for something to show up, but who cares? They get my whole payment and I avoid Amazon.
How about you invest in your own fucking company you dipshit. Instead of hoarding all the wealth.
Why aren't those free contractors and seasonal workers not amazon employees? So they don't need donation in the first place?
i agree to a point. people forgot how fucked up bush was and he was able to come back "cleaned up".
this country is short term memory on steroids.
Because you don't need the same amount of people in Christmas than in March? It's not hard to understand.
The contractors are independent delivery companies Amazon uses to send packages. Are you suggesting they buy every single one of them in every country they operate?
One day the FBI's gonna knock on Cerium's door to have a talk because of these fucking posts in every thread lol
This goes beyond donating. He needs to pay his employees a real wage with a humane working environment.
Of course, the problem is systemic and they should pay taxes and real wages, but instead of calling others to donate, they themselves should donate (aka pay them their wages)

Oh my God! Just burn it all down.
Oh my God! Just burn it all down.
Killing is bad, sure but why is it ok for billionaires to kill people? Because that is literally what they are doing with their behaviour?
Tax all billionaires out of existence. A system that permits the existence of billionaires is unethical.
You should ask for a job on the website of this article, pretty sure you'd get it.
There are a couple points though.
1. Why can't he employ these people under more permanent arrangements? Amazon's bottom line could take it. Off season pay could remain but be reduced.
2. If Bezos gave a similar percentage of his wealth that the people he is asking gave of their wealth it would probably be solved instantly. 0.1% of his wealth is still $100,000,000. If you make $50,000 a year you would be giving $50. He issolving the problem the wrong way by asking the poorest people for help.
It is not only Christmas.
But anyways, employe them the whole year to keep the stress down for everyone and to help with Christmas etc.
Lots of businesses (including small ones like farms) have seasonal workers. Keeping them employed the entire year is a huge waste of money and not feasible (yes, he can afford it, but you don't run a company in a way that makes you lose money regardless of how wealthy you are, that would be incredibly dumb and would eventually lead to everyone getting fired).
1. See my answer above.
2. The problem here, and what makes him trash (which I'm not denying even though I'm criticizing this article) is that he's donating only to those that will help him keep making money.
Instead of finding a cause that truly needs it (like something related to healthcare for example, or people losing their jobs regardless of them having worked for Amazon before), which would make his donation truly altruistic, he's securing his business by donating to the people not under his full control that could threaten it.
he's just some gump who created a business idea that somehow just started throwing money at him.
it didn't make him a better person, or more human or even more capable. It just made him obscenely and ungodly rich.
now he wants the world to throw more money at him to solve this latest problem. Jeff, that's not how the shit works.

They would not d lose money doing that. Only make a tiny bit less profit.
Greedy man is greedy. We shouldn't allow such greedy men to exist. It is not just a personal characteristic, it is the role they play in society. And that isn't offset by philanthropy. Besoz happens to be one of the personally nastier ones.
So why can't Amazon fund all of it themselves, they didn't need to even put this thing on the Internet. Just because they're contractors they are still working for Amazon, it's just pure greed.
It is greedy, I called Jeff Bezos trash in my last comment for a reason. The article is still sensationalist as fuck, however.
Not defending Bezos in any way but like does he even know this exists? This sounds like something done up by the HR department not Bezos. Like I doubt he was just swimming in his vault Scrooge McDuck style and had the thought of setting up a charity for his employees. If it doesn't make him money I doubt he has the time for it.
So hey...
