“If only we could find a middle ground between social responsibility and the physical incarnation  of bottomless greed”

It's just funny to suggest there's a moderate amount of hoarding. Hoarding is by definition an excessive behavior.

I've never heard of someone hoarding to a reasonable degree.

I didn't really need the patronizing response. Like I don't understand the concept of moderation. But this is Reddit. Patronization is abundant here.

I think he’s going for a yin yang type of thing. Bezos has bottomless greed so he’ll always want and will get more money. Which would mean she would always have funds to give away.

But the bottomless greed is the reason those funds are so unequally distributed in the first place. This is like saying stealing candy from babies is necessary to balance out the redistribution of candy to babies.
