Vanguard, black rock, fidelity etc own /manager 3x the AMZN that bezos does, so more concretely you're taking $3 out of random Americans retirement funds for every dollar you take out of bezos' pocket

Along these lines, I’d almost rather she’d bought major media outlets and newspapers and set them up under nonprofits with strict governance against taking corrupting donations.
