Just a wonder on how you’d spend it. I’d probably buy up some land and build a nice village or town kind of similar to Poundbury. I’d probably sell houses at a fair price but only to people who send in a CV and seem to be upstanding people who actually want to work and be a part of a community, as well as giving them a mortgage Then I’d have a nice mansion and pretend to be a Lord where I can look over my wonderful tenants and maybe buy them Christmas gifts and send them birthday cards. Help them out if they need it.

Basically what some Lords did centuries ago but probably more kinder. Oh, and the place will be built with nice old timey architecture as well. Probably cobble streets because screw cars lmao. I just want to give people a nice life I guess as well as LARP as nobility

    Do everything in my power to pass some privacy legislation for Americans, and overturn the Patriot Act. I probably don’t have nearly enough since I’d be going up against the biggest corporations in the world.

    Make sure I set a few million aside for myself and family. Buy everyone I’m close with a house, and give them a few million each.

    If there’s anything left, and there probably won’t be because I spent it all trying to get Congress to respect our right to privacy, then I’d start helping random struggling people who seem like good people. I suppose I’d form a foundation for that since I wouldn’t have the time to help as many people as possible.
