Greenwashing. $400M is about what AMZN spent on the totally-unwanted LOTR reboot.
I'm not saying we need to like, bow down and praise Bezos over this, or that it erases any other bad things he may have done...but let's try to acknowledge that hundreds of millions toward this kind of charity is an actual good thing and not just a pointless PR stunt.
> The Greening America’s Cities initiative launches with $50 million for urban greening efforts in five cities–Albuquerque, Atlanta... This is ironic given that Atlanta currently has 85 acres of prime greenspace that the city is spending $90M+ to turn into a police training center: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_City

If you were being sarcastic, which you were, you should troll elsewhere.
Your second comment mentioning racism actually does add a repulsive racial tinge to your commentary, which is worse than the original classist trolling.
Be better if he just paid taxes.
Taxes -> Uncle Sam -> Some Politician Pockets -> Dumbass projects, pointless initiatives [sometimes fueled by lobbying] -> Maybe some of it finally towards underprivileged communities with a 25% chance? Donating directly to the communities removes all this mess and gets money where it needs to go.

Just because they could afford to give more doesn't make this money meaningless.
