    Anand Giridharadas Retweeted Axios

    Imagine if Bezos had the gall “to be a traitor to his class, to actually think about giving in ways that transform the system atop which he stands.” "It is great to be a winner who gives back. It is even better to be a winner who thinks about how winners can take less."https://twitter.com/axios/status/1040541918718042113 …

    Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has finally joined the ranks of tech billionaires who use their sprawling wealth to shape the world through charity. https://www.axios.com/bezos-2-billion-charity-expands-his-influence-6c1c71d2-89dd-4dc6-a02f-b9cbeee1b528.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100 …

        The concept of "charity" is changing in the nonprofit sector, as it should. Charity is short-term, emergency relief. Will always be needed, and yes it's compassionate. But it should not be relied upon as a long term solution. It doesn't improve systemic problems.

        Giving people $1,000 a month as a #basicincome would transform the system & shape the world.

        I was just thinking about your most recent interview on @CNBC and how applicable this Bezos charitable donation is in the discussion.

        Charity begins at home. Amazon employees should be paid well.
