This is a pretty weird take. Like, if he had sold the company and pocketed the money, he would have made $2.3B dollars after paying $700M in tax. Instead he made $0.
Like, yeah, he isn't paying taxes on all of the money he didn't make.
The billionaire founder of Patagonia gave up the company to protect the planet. He may have skirted a $700 million tax bill in the process trib.al/E0q3Pb0

This isn't an act of charity. It's an act of business design.
We can decide how every business is owned, how it's governed, where it's profits go...
We can design shareholdings, boards, approach to margins & reinvestment. We can be designers of business to benefit ppl & planet.

We have to play the game to spread the work.

The tough thing about scaling and building communities is that it involves a lot of work that doesn't scale.
You can't automate everything when it needs to have a sense of humanity in order to nurture belonging and connection.
