    They really do! Bezos can simultaneously pat himself of the back for bringing us cheap consumer goods, more fuel efficiently delivered than all of us driving to the store, all while pumping own his personal CO2 emissions and treating his employees like slaves.

    One notable exception is Bezos’ ex. She carefully doles her billions out to causes her team researches so as to continually grow her fortune and have more to donate. Sustainable philanthropy! To have that kinda money and not let it go to one’s head is very, very unusual in a person.

      Its easier to waste money that you didnt earn. Not only because you dont value it as much, since from your perspective, money “just happened”, but also because the person that earned it vs gotnit from being married to a person that earned it and divorcing them, is more likely to have critical thinking and a more analytical mind.
