World's Richest Man Wants Your Help Paying His Employees.

[Johnnny5]

The largest stock holder and CEO of one the few companies to benfeit from this crisis is now asking us to donate to help compensate Amazon delivery drivers that have been affected by this outbreak. I'm the furthest thing from an Amazon/Bezos fan that one can be, but this even shocked me.


'Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos faces backlash after publicising a relief fund the public can donate to for his contract employees working during the Covid-19 pandemic.

--------------------------
Besides the company contributing $25m to the fund, it also allows the public to donate if they deem it important. "While we aren't expecting anyone to do so, you can make a voluntary donation to the fund if you desire to do so," Amazon wrote on its fund's website.
Amazon tweaked the wording to the above after initially encouraging people to donate via text, according to Popular Information.'

Is this the same guy who wants his taxes raised? Another way to raise your own taxes is to pay your employees more.

I "sincerely" hope he takes a 50% administrative cut to caution his end of the deal. Lol
