Not a bushfire victim myself, I have no right to tell him to shove it on behalf of them, but Jeff Bezos needs to suffer a tragic bathroom/toilet accident which is recorded on his home security and accidentally leaked to the media.
He gave money to the fire victims. Good for him. Sorry, not going to pile on. Giving is still giving. It's not my place to judge if the amount is enough.
The French are my people and we do not necessarily boast of war hero's....for obvious reasons. But I take your point on criticism, I'm a Browns fan and they crushed my hope and I have been a bit overly sensitive.......
Fortunately, here in Mexico we have mercadolibre. I can pay at the local convenience store, and get what I need the next day.... heck, I just bought myself new wheels (ok... a new wheelchair) at the C-store, and having it delivered tomorrow. Books... harder to get, and I sometimes have to use Amazon for English-language ones. Think globally, shop on-line locally.
Two outrageous events here (three, if you count Jeff Bezons hoarding all that money). That the priorities are so screwed, and that we let billionaires decide what our priorities are. In a perfect word (sans billionaires) priorities and money for things like the Australian fire would be from those according to the ability to those according to their need. Just my ... uh... 3 cents worth.
So, I have a wild idea. How about a Wonkette-money-where-your-mouth-is collective donation to help the wildfires? An ice-bucket challenge without the ice? and the bucket? Can this vile snark-mob outgive the Bezos? I bet we can. Any suggestions for a trustworthy donation recipient? Anybody have some spare know-how to put it all into one kitty so we can track the total? If you put it together I will endeavor to be the first ka-ching in the pot.
Not that he will know, or care. But we will, and can.

i agreed with your basic premise and simply pointed out that your "Are we not braver that the FRENCH!" statement was unnecessary and ignorant.
so, try to take an agreement with mild criticism of method a little better . . . eh?
Can you imagine how thankful the Aussies will be when Bezos decides to give the sweat off BOTH balls?
"(Thanks to credits and paying executives in stock, not cash, Amazon actually received $129 million from US taxpayers.)"And then my head exploded.

True dat. Would one rather he didn't give at all?
plus he'll probably get a 3 million dollar tax break for the effort.
It's unbelievable! If you don't want scream you are not normal.

Jeff Bezos is having his company give ONE MILLION DOLLARS
You can tell how much Bezos admires Dr Evil, he even sports the look.
And Costco is run by a cool progressive coot
Nailed it. I thought exactly the same thing.
