    Some numbers:

    1) Jeff Bezos personally possesses $130 BILLION and the poor diddums can't figure out what to do with it. https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2018/05/03/26132883/what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-jeff-bezos

    2) The amount of additional resources required to end homelessness in King County is $214 million / year https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/more-affordable-housing-only-way-to-solve-seattles-homeless-crisis-new-report-says/ ie 0.16% of Bezos's pile.

    3) The tax bill over which Amazon has thrown a tantrum and is trying to extort the city is only even 10% of _that_ https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-pauses-plans-for-seattle-office-towers-while-city-council-considers-business-tax/

    Fuck this guy.

    1. What the Fuck Is Wrong with Jeff Bezos?
      from The Stranger
      The world's richest man opposes taxes and gives very little on his own fortune away.
    2. King County needs to spend $400 million a year to solve homeless crisis, new report says
      from The Seattle Times
      An independent report on King County’s homelessness crisis by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company finds that squeezing efficiencies out of the current system isn’t enough to solve it; 14,000 units of affordable housing are needed, at least.
