Jeff Bezos' superyacht is so big it needs its own yacht

I don't think anyone would argue with being happy to have Bezos money. That's never been the issue.

The issue is what he chooses to do with that money. And before you get your panties in a twist, yes, we all understand that he is free to do whatever he wants with his money. But when you consider the amount of suffering and poverty someone with that kind of money could alleviate in the world, starting with many of his own company's workers who work for $15 an hour and are forced to piss in bottles lest they get in trouble for falling behind taking proper bathroom breaks, it's pretty gross that he chooses instead to spend it on megayachts and other accoutrements.

There's no question I would absolutely love to have Bezos money, because I think of all the good I could do with it, from paying off people's student debt, to medical bills, to fixing the pipes in Flint without blinking, to building homeless shelters and affordable housing for people, and still not even break a sweat in my net worth.

But I guess that just goes to show where different people's priorities lay.
