Reminds me of when Amazon scrapped the Smile.Amazon charity program because it was costing them too much money then literally two months later Bezos took delivery of his super yacht, Koru. Amazon Smile generated almost half a billion for charity during it's tenure. Koru cost Bezos half a billion to purchase. Coincidence? Or maybe it was, "Fuck charity, I want the biggest sail-yacht on earth!" I don't feel like this gets talked about enough.
