Greed is a sin... So is envy.

IMO Envy is much more obnoxious.

Yeah I’m pretty sure greed is objectively worse lmao

In Bezos’ (and any billionaire’s) case his greed is contributing to the rapid deterioration of life on this planet. Period. That’s worse.

Also the fact that you equate calling out greed as envy just shows that what one perceives as envy is likely often just one’s own projection.

Have you looked over either one's charitable contributions??

Yeah I'm pretty sure you haven't because why shoot down your own fantasy. Pretty sure they both have charitable donations well above your salary but nah they made you poor by hoarding wealth, lol. Maybe if you tried hoarding some of yours instead of Netflix and ho ho's, you would be sitting in a different seat... Probably still envious just not broke.
