      Unironically yes. We do want rich people (and all people) to create more options for how we can go to school. Then you and your family decide whether or not you would like attend that school. What Bezos is doing is unequivocally a good thing.https://twitter.com/lydiadepillis/status/1040282084231790592 …

      I mean, the Gates put like a half billion dollars into higher education, and had a meaningful impact -- but do we want a couple super wealthy people deciding how people go to school? https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-Gates-Effect/140323 …

      this whole trend of “undertaxed oligarchs suddenly creating parallel public works the government would fund if they weren’t starved of tax dollars by oligarchs” is super cool and very in line with equality and democracy

      Ah yes, if the government had a higher percentage of Bezos’s wealth they would absolutely be solving that problem and wpuld be doing so very well

          I find these taxation arguments kinda odd. They lack commensurability with reality. Even if the govt appropriated Bezos, Buffett, Gates, and Zuck's entire fortunes, you'd come nowhere close to what the govt spends in a year. You'd get a drop in the bucket while killing innovation

          you mean like all the sales tax they’ve kept from local school districts around the state? 🧐 bad faith argument
