Ask them why they won’t give their money to those in need?
I don’t know. I’m just surprised no one else read this sentence as though they were waking up some billionaire from their slumber.
Build a fuggerei 2.0
I am so boring I would stick it in my savings account and live off the interest.
OR take a few million and sponsor a Formula 1 team with a made up name and travel with the team for a year.
Buy land, start a building company and build apartments. Then I would turn each building into a cooperative so that only those who live in it are in control.
And I would sponsor Deutschlandtickets for low income people.
From what's left I'd buy a big house and invite my queer and trans friends from mainly the US and UK to live with me.
Quit my job
Donate all the money to UNRA and kill myself. I'd probably remeber what I had to do to become a billionaire and would not be able to live with myself.
Good for you man super virtuous and all but that's not the premise
There are no ethical billionaires, regardless of how it happens.
The premise is like... magic or something, dude. The premise is not that you are a philosophical zombie and gain billions of dollars through actual capitalism only to one day suddenly gain sentience.
Magic took those billions from someone else, otherwise it just committed a crime and generated a tremendous amount of Inflation.
I'm fun at parties.
OK how about this actually... All the money came from deleting the existing billionaires from reality.
Alternate premise would be "What if everyone in the world would give you anything or do any service for you for free, feel good about it, and be enriched by it in whatever way needed for it not to be exploitative"
You're ruining the game!!
That's my specialty 😅
Nothing.
Think really really hard if I'm going to work or not. I'd probably go just for the pleasure of being there with a smile and the biggest "I don't give a fuck" attitude ever.
start a gameshow that has three contestants that have to run while five people hunt them down. the whole time they're running from the hunters people on the streets can turn them in for a reward.
when they're finally caught, we kill them live on air.
Probably wake up.
Redevelop my city to be more walkable/bikeable and better Public transport.
What do you guys think I should do?
Donate 99% as taxes to the city.
Debt then financial advisor, only splurge might be a new video card and some ram
