> Is it rational for Bezos to build a huge fucking yacht to pull behind his enormous fucking yacht instead of making sure Amazon warehouse workers have the absolute first class working environment? Hint: NO!
Amazon has ~1.5 million workers. If Jeff Bezos donated his entire fortune to them, that would be a one-off payment of $11,000 each. That is quite substantial, but it isn't enough to be a political issue - for example the US wasted an order of magnitude more money on the Afghanistan war (completely pointless) and about order of magnitude people were displaced. We should be more worried about allowing people like Bush having influence.
Do you expect to be typing my comments for me? Of course it isn't what you said! It is what I said.
You're focusing on the rounding error. Focus on the big issues. Bezos is making great use of those resources compared to the next-best non-billionaire institution, which is the US government.

And the yacht is a rounding error in all that.
