good time to bring back up this article in particular:https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/06/amazon-seattle-repeal-head-tax-homelessness …
Yes, any person's actions should be looked at on all fronts. In fairness, your NYT op-ed gave universal pre-school as an e.g. of what should be happening & so $1bn to free high-qual pre-school for poor seems pretty good as a 1st step? If exec like AMZN, could be quite catalytic?
Such as paying taxes? 
Do you see any philanthropists ready for self-critique?
With the $2B #Day1Fund @JeffBezos is essentially saying it will improve what the City of Seattle has been unable to do, despite a $6B annual budget (that’s up 50% from 8 years ago).https://openbudget.seattle.gov/#!/year/default
What are the chances you get an opportunity to interview @JeffBezos? I'm sure many of us would be very interested in hearing that conversation.
Anand, I love your question. “The world” to be changed by Bezos in his statement is conceptualized as exterior to “his world”. A way of thinking structured by a schism, where what’s interior and exterior to his sphere don’t connect aside from his power to control them separately.
The guy threatened Seattle city council when they wanted to pass a head tax to pay for affordable housing projects for homeless...
Fascinating thread, thank you. Amazon is global though. The question for the business then is ‘can we can afford to solve for this globally while also out-competing global competition?’
Lost in all of your little screed was the fact that Jeff Bezos does not care what you or anyone that isn't a Federal regulator thinks of him.
