Someone a lot better a doing good were not apparently good enough at getting the resources to do good.

You can't just dump a lot of power into someone you think that does good, because you have know way to know if (s)he is even able to manage that to start to do go.

At least bezos continues to improve the world infrastructure through amazon, and financing the space industry though blue origin.

Yes, that is pretty close to my point. We have created a system in which good people are not the people who get a lot of resources.

If (s)he can't get/create resources, how can he do good? It seems you would just put a waster in power.

It's the difference between charity orgs with fading impact, and the ones that change people lives. Same applies to corporations, plenty changed the world for the better.

Think of the people behind creating wealth and think about the people who actually get wealth. You will find that the two groups differ drastically.
