The brain-dead obvious response to this is that Jeff Bezos isn’t hiding his money under a mattress. He’s (directly or indirectly) investing in ventures that employ people anyway, and the mechanisms that allocate his investment funds are possibly better at producing productivity returns than e.g. having several thousand people eat out one extra time per month.

There are reasonable responses to the above but nothing about these discussions appear brain-dead obvious to me.
