    here are a few ideas I had:

    • invest / subsidized green tech
    • lobby to stop oil and gas subsidies
    • lobby to stop meat subsidies
    • lobby for stricter environmental taxes and regulations.
    • subsidize repair services so that it’s cheaper for people to fix things instead of buying new
    • offer bad politicians a lot of money to resign
    • buy companies that provide essential services (water gas net) and make them non profits
    • do the same to things like Uber Facebook Google, and make ads optional
    • make public transit free
    • make affordable healthcare
    • set up a charity with whatever’s left. withdraw 4% a year and split evenly it between to anyone who asks for it

      The lobbying stuff seems sensible.

      The market cap of Alphabet/Google alone is an order of magnitude larger than your budget.

      Offering bad politicians lots of money is probably a bad precedent. Also, depending on your definition, there’s potentially a lot of them.

      Free public transit, healtchcare are also significantly bigger than your budget.

      So since that doesn’t work - how about you buy a social media network, and get chummy with the corrupt candidate for president you push, then be part of a commission to destroy most sensible parts of the federal government. Also, build a creepy compound for all your children and their mothers.
