More from TMZ:
Bezos announced he’s sending a $100 million gift to the non-profit organization Feeding America to help replenish its national network of food banks and pantries … with the goal being “getting food to those countless families who need it.”
Jeff says food insecurity is a problem in the U.S. even during ordinary times, but “COVID-19 is amplifying that stress significantly.”
You know what this means, don’t you?

Who is going to be the first big account to say "But that's like a normal person donating $5?"
That's a huge number that other companies/groups/corporations with big $$ accounts will never do. https://t.co/bItYncqeSC

When you make damn near $9M per hour, that makes this sum one long days work. That's it. No sacrifice here.

Wow. That’s like…. nothing to him. particularly after ensuring his employees have to shop there.
I got a better idea. Let’s take ALL his money and redistribute it.

100 mln is a lot of money but far less than 1% of Jeff Bezos fortune. It is like I am donating 1 dollars to you on the sidewalk.
— Mr Chen (@chenyx75) April 2, 2020
Hi Yashar, that's less than 10 dollars adjusted for the average net worth of an American under 35. Sooooo.

How much money have you given, Bernie Sanders delegate?
Annnnnd they’re off!
A Bernie Sanders delegate.
Whose $10 is, contrary to his image of self-importance, not as helpful as Bezos’s $100 million. https://t.co/G3GRxkd1Wd
