One thing they about Jeff Bezos giving $10 billion to "fight climate change" they don't discuss is that he alone will decide who gets funding. For example, if they want to study if it's good for the climate to ship every retail item individually to houses, they won't get funded.

The government has its motives for how research dollars get allocated too.

Look what the government did with the Tobacco Settlement money, for a clear idea as to the misallocation of appropriated funds.

I agree. Jeff Bezos giving 10 billion dollars is not good enough.

Important to emphasize that more money would not fix the issue here either. You could double the amount and this problem would still exist. It's about who controls where the money gets applied.
