      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?

      His personal investment record is very good: Google, Airbnb, Uber, Grail, Juno Therapeutics, etc. Allocating capital to Amazon right now feels like a good bet, one that a lot of smart capital allocators are making.

      But, focusing on that being defensible ignores that Bezos seems reasonably charitable. The Post and Blue Origin feel like impact investments, if not outright philanthropy. He's given $130m philanthropically & pledged $2bn in Sept to homeless families and preschool education.

      And of course, focusing on Jeff at all detracts from the bigger point. Zack's right. Using a successful woman's decision to be charitable to write a takedown piece on her ex-husband is an example of a bad human behavior amplified by misaligned incentives.

      I agree with that entirely -- I was reacting to the headline, and he took the time to read the article

      The headline is the issue, there's no need to dunk on Jeff in the headline of an article that should be unrelated to him. Apologies if this reads as aggressive, I don't mean to be obstinant. I just think the pessimism on display in the headline is dangerous & should be checked.

      Totally not aggressive at all, I think it's a fair read. My own view is the headline was fine and not that attacking -- it's a natural contrast that interests the reader, a fair critique of Jeff, and not a withering ad hominem or something like that.

      P.S. My view of journalists is their job is to tell interesting stories that are fair and that their audience finds relevant -- not to be optimistic or pessimistic per se. Here, the contrast is so natural and striking and the timing so soon after the divorce that it feels fair.

      Headline: “Bloomberg BETA-backed {startup/founder 1} acquired for $2.2B, while Bloomberg BETA-backed {startup/founder 2} has done nothing and remains an outward-appearing abject failure.” Factual ✔️ Interesting ✔️ Engaging ✔️ Fair and meeting high journalistic standards?

          The article is fair Zach. Article headlines are smart if they answer the first question that comes to readers mind. Ie when Netflix spoke out against GA re abortions it was indicated it was only studio that did in header a question many readers first thought off. Same in this cas

          Most people are wondering did pre divorce Mackenzie Bezos do this and the answer is no/ Jeff Bezos no. It's a fact and it's a narrative that works fine like Roy said . If they compared her half as less than to someone else like another female philanthropist that's off base imho
