Reference:- Jeff Bezos claims that it is a challenge for him to develop a strategy for giving away his fortune .
Dear Mr Bezos ,
Indeed , how does one offload a hundred billion quid or more ? That old novel , " Brewster's Millions " reveals how hard it can be to divest oneself of large quantities of mazuma , but I am sad to say , it offers no useful advice on the subject .
Ken junior on the other hand , has a few suggestions that might be worthy of your consideration . I have listed these below , realising that you may not wish to run with all of them , for whatever reason .
1. Pay a living wage to those among your workers who rely on food stamps to survive .
2. Pay 2 weeks sick leave to those among your workers who may come down with covid or contract another illness .
3. Upgrade your workplace so that you no longer have a workplace injury rate 2.5 times the national average .
4. Relax your workplace quotas so that none of your employees need to urinate in an empty coke can or defecate in a plastic bag to avoid being penalised for visiting the toilet .
5. Reimburse the taxpayers who subsidised you to the tune of billions when you opened new warehouses .
6. Refund the customers who paid 1000% over the odds for products like gloves during the height of the covid pandemic .
Admittedly this is only a start , and would only diminish your wealth by less than one percent . But you have to start somewhere .
If you find it difficult to make such big changes all at once , perhaps you could buy your employees bottles to urinate in and plastic bags to defecate in so they don't have to buy their own ? Or maybe offer to sell them urine bottles and feces bags at a discounted rate ? These actions have the advantage that they don't look like a pathetic attempt at virtue signalling , something you must avoid at all costs .
It is a big job you have ahead of you , so don't procrastinate .
Finally , as we all know , nobody with half a brain does anything gratis . As payment for his advice , Ken junior is happy to accept the equivalent of one second's worth of your yearly income , which is but a measly 2500 quid or so . That strikes me as quite a bargain .
Your comrade , Ken .
P.S. Don't forget to account for the exchange rate when making payment .
