@Noel7wrote:What bothers me is that Bezos has apparently not embraced philanthropy. Bill Gates has and the Zuckerbergs have.
Several reports say Bazos is waiting to see what he wants to do. Seriously?
@Noel7 I guess his intention to market his own brand of OTC meds is taking up too much time for philanthropy.

I did not know that @Cakers3 !!! Is there a possible altruistic reason? Such as lower cost for meds?

@Noel7 At first I thought he was going to open up a prescription Pharmacy online but the last I read it is only an Amazon brand of OTC meds.
Bezos has donated a few millions for tuition for DACA recipients but I've been seeing rumblings that he is replacing full time workers with temps and more automation.
Which, of course, cuts out benefits and hikes up the # of his employees on food stamps.
He doesn't stand out at a major player in philanthropy but who knows what goes on in private. I do know that his newest Visa for Prime members through Whole Foods has a whopping 15% interest rate. That does not justify the cash back on that card, imo.
Anyway-I don't know all the details of the meds situation but last I saw it is only OTC meds. And since Amazon doesn't always have the lowest prices I'm not so sure there will be a $$ benefit but more of a convenience benefit.

I'm thinking that, too. We get vitamins, Tylenol, Ibuprofin etc from Costco. The prices are lower there. I wonder if Bezos has something like that in mind for Amazon.
He's partnering with SF restaurants now for delivery. A great idea, so many people don't have time to shop and cook nowadays. Especially two working parents with kids to feed. We did it once. A $4 charge for delivery and then a tip.

I would definitely have someone to grocery shop and cook for me. I would have fresh seafood as many times in the week as I wanted. I would find recipes that intrigued me and voilà. I would have a great meal.
I love going out to eat, but that's treat time. Not my daily diet.
Oh, the dinner parties I would have...sigh.
Seafood! I can't believe I didn't think of that! Oh, yes, I would love that, I'm not a big meat eater but I could eat fish, shrimp, crab etc. so often.
I have the same thought of picking out recipes for someone else to make
