Even if I agree that she has made a fortune on the backs of Amazon employees, I don't agree with this comment.

Here, MacKenzie Scott has made a choice to give money back to causes which support underprivileged people (which will doubtless include some of those same Amazon employees), which she did not have to.

Right, it's better than just putting the money into the pockets of some hedge fund managers by buying stock.

But definitely worse than Amazon paying a better wage and not treating employees like robots.

Like the 4000 Amazon employees who get food stamps? I think she is probably plowing that money into leftist political organizations.

You seem confused. The ideas that you say above, that workers should get health insurance and shouldn't be timed on their toilet breaks (workers shouldn't be exploited) are quite literally "leftist" ideals.

Leftist as in leftist political elites. Leftists fucking hate working people.
