177 Billionaire's in Britain

I’ve reported him as a troll. I didn’t say I’d reported him because I know that with trolls that can trigger a nasty PM. Sorry you’ve had that experience georgesgran. You’re probably not alone. I hope you’ve reported the PM and blocked him.

All done GSM, but think GN still having admin issues, so thought I’d post the warning.

Good. I got the usual response thanking me for reporting so hopefully it’s working. Hope it hasn’t upset you, it can be very unsettling and you think ‘who are you?’ and ‘why me?’. They are nutters who just pick someone at random.

Regarding Geoff Bezos I have to be very grateful to the man as it’s due to his philanthropy our daughter and SIL are having such a comfortable lifestyle, he invested in a small Silicone Valley start up which my SIL now runs part of, it has grown and become a major player.
Our youngest son left university and went to work for Amazon in the Czech Republic his training was outstanding, it was a great stepping stone for him.

Good for them! What about all the other human beings on the planet?

He has given away huge sums growstuff.

Surely a civilized society is not judged by how many billionaires there are, but on how it cares for and supports the poor, the sick and the needy.

Bezos and his Xwife give huge amounts to charities. She is one of the wealthiest women in the world and gives generously.

For the first time in a decade I bought a lottery ticket last week. Sadly I didn't win the £84 million prize, but I had lots of fun dreaming of what I would do with the money. Imagine all the charities you could help and how you could change the lives of those you love who you know struggle to make ends meet.

I wonder why billionaires need to be billionaires and why they aren't tempted to give the vast majority of the surplus away? I suppose some do.

I do the same RichmondPark1 it is very entertaining, although I do rarely buy a ticket.
I think billionaires do give a lot away to charities, research and bursaries from what I have read. Also they may be big employers, which is good.
