    Did you get the chance to watch the PBS Frontline documentary last week called, Amazon Empire - The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos. The day before it hit the air, Bezos donated $10 billion to fight climate change. The richest man in the world has an estimated net worth of about $130 billion, so his $10 billion pledge is about 7.7% of that. People are complaining. https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-giving-10-billion-to-fight-climate-change-2020-2 and this https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/02/jeff-bezoss-usd10-billion-climate-pledge-is-actually-tiny.html  (it reminds me of the Democratic Party debate when the politicians were taking swipes at Bloomberg's wealth and he kept saying it, "I am giving it away!").
