Why is that bad?

The article? Instead of talking about a heroic act by one of the most successful women on the planet, it focuses the attention on bashing her former husband. Those two things are quite literally not related, and puts a negative light on philanthropic efforts.

It's an opportunistic, click-optimized hit piece with zero insight or thoughtfulness targeted at stoking the flames of our worst impulses.

Oh I agree. I just thought you meant the headline, which is all I ever read there these days because the content doesn't justify the paywall most of the time. So I am habituated.

Though I also agree that Jeff should give and it is not OK that he hasn't.

It seems to me that one of the worst things that the best capital allocator in the world could do is give too early.

Is Bezos a capital allocator? Buffet is, was. Bezos seems to be an operator (arguably, the single best in the world) who allocates just as well within Amazon and occasionally invests personally. What evidence is there that he's a capital allocator for his personal wealth?
