Most homes in the US don't break a million in up front cost, unless you're buying in one of the very popular "reality warp" locations that are in absurdly high demand (SF Bay area, Redmond, Dallas, New York, etc).

True. Maybe... 3 houses instead?

The national average house price in the US is about $300k, so you'd need to buy about 333 houses to spend the $100 million

I could make that work. 🤔

I'll become the Oprah of houses. You get a house, you get a house, everyone gets a house.

Starting a production line for something like UAV drones seems doable. I don't understand how much 100kk is (and I assume most lemmings too), but I think like there are a lot of ways to make it more expensive. If the baseline is constructing an existing model from imported components, then customizing it, printing or casting conponents oneself, doing R&D - everything can change the price.

Dave, you don't have such money in the first place.

Easy when there are bad people you're interested in.

Buy 100M worth of drones with ammo and transportation, only I'll have to find somebody from former Artsakh Defense Army to ask where.

Or maybe just buy samples of anthrax, bubonic plague, some particular nasty kind of covid and other such nice things, lots of pests able to carry them and, of course, rodents, bribe lots of people on my way and bring all that stuff to Baku.

Starting right now, you have $100M in a checking account.

Honest question: do you predict you can have all those drones in your possession, and the account emptied, within 30 days?
