        billionaires taut philanthropy bc it saves even more taxes + zero responsibility towards the lack of #Parity they contributed to. @JeffBezos receives accolades w zero accountability to his detrimental treatment of America’ workers lack of unions/fair pay.

        Bezos's pre-k program is linked to predatory human capital impact investing, a financialized market sector developed by Jim Heckman, Robert Dugger along with billionaires like JB Pritzker and firms like Goldman Sachs. Logical, but horrible. #Biocapitalismhttps://wrenchinthegears.com/2018/09/15/montessori-inc-pre-k-predictive-profiling-for-power-and-profit/ …

        I know you want him to say he's "done" harm w wages etc. but he'd probably say: - Lowered prices for tens of millions of Americans - Grown a company to over 500,000 U.S. employees - Bucked "investors" who wanted him to focus on profitability as he focused on growing his company

        Just pay taxes. That's literally all we ask. It's not as fancy as having your name on a school or hospital - but you can have it embossed on the envelope. USPS and IRS employees will be impressed.

        The states bidding for Amazon HQ2 have offered billion dollar economic incentives to attract Bezos. Some tax breaks are worth more than this donation to education. Are you sure you want to paint him as the monopolist villain?
