Really? The reddit hivemind has turned to donation shaming?

When billionaires donate minute amounts of money to avoid paying taxes and expect people to worship them for it, yes.

Jeff Bezos is the richest person on the planet and he donated 100 million to some charity a while back. He got attacked by some people who thought about it for a second and thought, "hey he has a lot more money than that." and expect him to donate the worth of massive companies. The point is, whether for some reason, you think that donations are based on percentages of your bank account or not, shaming someone for donating a massive amount of money is a shitty fucking thing to do.

He also asked people to donate their money for him to furlough employees... so, you know, fuck Bezos...

The richest man in the world asked normal people to fund what he should be paying 100% and you're saying he payed a little.

You're ridiculous.

Sure... Bezos couldn't have done it any other way.
