Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos pledged $2 billion to philanthropy today, saying they wanted the money to curb homelessness and educate children from low-income families. The announcement triggered a tremendous reaction on Twitter.
Here’s what a few people had to say:
I would also invite @JeffBezos to ask, “Where’s the bad in the world, and how can we stop it?”
Spreading what’s good is a useful method in business.
But a savagely unequal society is a crime scene, and we must do more than scale up good. We must stop the crime and seek justice.
