Big Smile, No Teeth: Why are we sitting back and letting the rich lead the way?


FILE - In this Sept. 19, 2019 file photo, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos speaks during his news conference at the National Press Club in Washington. On Monday, Feb. 4, 2020, Bezos asked a California court to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed against him by his girlfriend's brother, Michael Sanchez. In Sanchez's lawsuit filed last week, the Hollywood talent manager alleges that Bezos and his security consultant Gavin de Becker falsely told reporters that Sanchez provided nude photos of Bezos to The National Enquirer.

Jeff Bezos may have made the first move from being a universally hated billionaire to saviour of the planet by pledging US$10bil (RM41.9bil) to fight climate change recently. He’ll use the money to start the Bezos Earth Fund and work with scientists, NGOs and activists to “help preserve and protect the natural world”.

Which is terrific. Great. I suppose.
