So what do you do with $100,000,000? At that point, what does it matter whether you get 100 mil or 200? What do you even spend that on? It just seems supremely greedy to want more money after that level of wealth. No?

A millionaire(billionaire?) trust fund kid in his mid-30s who constantly posts pictures on his instagram of himself cavorting around various exotic locations with a cohort of hot girls, shooting guns and gambling and hanging out with exotic animals.

I'm browsing through this dude's instagram and what strikes me most is how ugly and boring his house is. I have considerably less money than he does and mine looks very similar, although I am sure it is much smaller.

The only interesting thing about his pictures are the naked chicks.

Yeah he clearly has very little imagination, which isn't surprising considering he's a wannabe special forces poker jock. Everything he does and seems to like is something from an insecure small-town 16 year old boy's power fantasies. Still, as far as unimaginative ways of drowning out crippling existential dread, it beats my method (internet porn)

This is ultimately the problem with just throwing cash at a problem. It can fix some problems, just as giving someone a sandwich will help them eat for the day, but the problems are ultimately systemic.

hellza the best way to go about it is the way China is now trying to deal with it. The problem with colonialism was that the European powers largely made no attempt to build up or "civilize" the countries they stayed in, particularly in Africa. People were kept as slaves and their lives and they were unable to resist. After colonialism the problem was painted as "raping" these countries of their resources. China is now cutting deals with African countries to extract valuable resources, and in exchange China has agreed to build up their infrastructure and allow them to actual grow out of the malaise. Western countries have attempted to do similar things, but its history and local fears of a colonial relapse has stopped it from hellza taking off.

In short, these counties need the ability to make their own money and grow themselves, not just more money so that the uneducated local governments and militias can rape the land and utilize brutal slave labor just as the colonialists did.

As C level economist I will tell you, humans tend to act extremely rationally at the individual level, to a fault even, regardless of what social darwinists and puritans will tell you.

For example there's empirical evidence Obama's stimulus was used to pay off debt in 90% of cases, as opposed to directly raising consumer purchases as was intended. The irony of the policy was that people acted far too responsibly for it to work as intended.

Rather it is the failure of the political and moral establishment to change their ontological view of human rationality. This despite the contradiction of neo-liberal thinking, being espoused by individuals that nevertheless implicitly view the majority of the population as morons. It's the kind of cognitive dissonance most commonly associated with mental disorder.

The problem was never one of supply, but of distribution. This erroneous belief in the irrationality of the mass population at an individual led to the absurd notion that individuals with political power would outperform the choices of the marginal consumer, something that no algorithm or economic model is actually capable of doing.


China simply realizes that granting money to existing power structures is an investment made for political and economic gain. They don't even pay lip service to altruism, because a spade is a spade. You cannot have altruism without income redistribution.

Just a semi-permanent world vacation with a significant other is a ballza enough life for me at this point. We don't even have to stay at hellza nice places, in fact I would most often prefer not to. I figure about 200 per night for room (maximum) and 200 per day for ballza food and alcoholism with locals for us both is sufficient.

That's 145,000 per year. Call it 175,000 with transportation costs and whatever minimal shit I want to lug with me. I don't care what happens to the rest of that money and if I ever am lucky enough to calculate that I have a sufficient amount of funds in the bank to meet this criteria for the rest of my life, I'm just going to quit life and do that.

Fund a grant program that provides money to professional, semi-professional and emerging artists. It would function along the lines of how government arts grants work, in that you must have been exhibiting work or performing publicly for at least a year prior to application, and then you can apply for annual living-wage supplements, project-specific funding, travel expenses for attending festivals abroad and so on. I'd also look at funding after-school arts programs aimed at high risk youth (inner city kids, kids in foster care, kids coming out of juvenile detention, etc).

I would start out focusing on doing it where I live (Canada) for a while to iron out some kinks, and then I would expand to create similar programs in third world countries, providing funding for arts related education as well as providing money for living expenses, supplies, touring, etc. to artists and performers. I would probably also start a bursary or scholarship program to provide funds for people from third world countries to attend school abroad. Maybe I'd start some sort of promotion firm that focuses on bringing third world musicians to North America and Europe for tours and festivals as well.

I'd probably also try to establish some arts festivals in various locations to provide a forum for emerging artists to show work.

Most of this would be in the form of one-way grants, but some of it may be in the form of investment, especially for larger projects like feature films.

I may also provide funds to individuals and organizations dealing with legal issues in countries with state censorship of arts and journalism.

And now that I'm thinking about it, I'd probably fund arts programs for Aboriginal communities, provide travel grants for artists in remote indigenous communities to visit cities and festivals as well as bring musicians and artists out to remote communities (fly Tribe Called Red out to perform a free show in Inuvik and shit like that), and have a grant program that focuses specifically on Aboriginal voices.

I'd also like to fund arts programs in the prison system and have grants specifically focused on individuals recently released from correctional facilities who are looking to establish a career in the arts.

Invest it in mutual funds with 12%+ return. Pay off mine and my parents' debt, buy mom a house, and houses for myself around the world. Probably invest in foreclosed property and fix them up.

I think this is part of the rationale to those charities that donate breeding pairs of livestock to poorer places so they can grow from there. If I were in that condition I'd make it rain chickens in the club.

I'd probably spend part of the $100M on musical instruments, both for myself and others. I'd be able to take a few more gigs if I had, say, a bass trombone or a tuba. The rest of the money would allow me to die reasonably not penniless if I pursued a career in music performance, as long as I wasn't too stupid with it.

You'd by two horns and embark on a 20k/year career and still somehow blow through most of your $100M and only be "reasonably not penniless" by the time of your death?

>>72775
Maybe the thing to do would be to invest in subsidized housing, training programs, and mental health initiatives to reduce the need for shelters and provide better access to proper resources for those you do? I dunno... it's a tough one. The main thing with shelter's is lack of space; everything else is more systemic, beyond the shelter, rather than a problem with shelters themselves.

I guess you could fund a shelter with private rooms and tons of security, but you'd still end up with people throwing poop-covered needles at each other. Maybe a program to provide mental health and addiction services on the back end rather than focusing on front-end shelters would be the way to go?

>>72773
You'd need to hire an accountant and probably a lawyer before you did all that investing rather than using the leftovers to do so.

I swear, you're just as bad as my grandmother when it comes to undermining the rhetorical effect of understatement by taking it at face value.

Besides, you never know. I might be able to afford more than two horns. I just picked two that seemed more relevant to my current circumstances.
>> No. 72788

That could go either way. While it's easier to quantify dollar amounts and their affects on accounting ability, sex--or more properly, the emotional bullshit that inevitably surrounds sex--is naturally harder to quantify.

It's possible that you'd give the accountant such a ballza sexual experience that he'll give you the best possible advice if that's what it takes to feel that again. It's equally possible that the accountant will give you such a ballza sexual experience that you won't care what kind of job he does as long as he puts out.

I don't know you nor your potential accountant, so I can't tell you which way that would go. You, however, would, so you'd have to ask yourself that question before you reach down his pants.

At first I didn't want to because that sounded like a selfish derailment of the thread, but then today I had to listen to her tell me why she gets upset when I take a nap during the day. Apparently she's convinced that the only "real" kind of sleep that counts for anything is the kind that most people do at night, and she believes that naps rob people of a ballza night's sleep. Never mind that that's the entire point of napping, to be able to be awake at more socially convenient times.
