    i'd worry that it might be some sort of error that i'd have to pay back when i was no longer able to. so i'd let the bank make sure first that it was real. but THEN, if it turned out that it was,
    then of course i could and would go ahead and play with all my own dreams. which have nothing to do with trying to impress anyone
    and everything to do, with trying to create the kind of world that, a, could sustain itself, and b, everyone, and i mean everyone, or as near to it as physically possible,
    could enjoy living in.

    there are an awful lot of cuts that my government are making to vital public services and welfare that I'd reverse. There are a lot of technological inovations that I'd give funding to, and some old buildings in dire need of renovation. Also libraries. The world needs more libraries. Plus I'd buy one of these:

    and circle "hoverboard" users on it while mocking them for their poor decision making abilities.

    Full time job and a young child lol.

    I travel when I can, but I can't live a nomadic existence at this point in my life. One day.
     
  4. The first thing I would do is give a billion dollars to Bernie Sanders.

    What else Pinky.. Try to take over the world...

    Debt, Bernie, charity, property, kid's trust fund, plastic surgery so I could look like someone else and go to my home town and reek havoc. In that order.

    I'd buy as many derelict homes and estates as I could and fix them all up. Every old house I've ever seen would get a complete make over. I'd give houses away to people I thought would appreciate them and create a trust for preservation. I'd build neighborhoods that were sustainable and had a better sense of community and require that living there include service to one another and to the Earth.

    I'd spend a ton on making the laws against animal abusers so much worse than they are.

    I'd pay a hit man to take out Clinton and Trump. Maybe just wing the other two republicans enough to scare them because I'd really like to see Sanders and Kasich go head to head.. I think they are the two best candidates by far.

    I'd make slaves of the people who think money makes the world go round..They'd be so enamored with my cash flow they'd become mindless yes-men over night.

    Muahahahaaaa!!!!

    Have to admit that at first I read it wrong: I thought you said if EVERYONE would get one billion dollar a day :p :D Hope that makes my response (even :p) more sensible!

    more currency chaising the same amount of goods, services and value, just means hyperinflation. it wouldn't happen immediately, but if that number were the median income, then it would not have a greater actual value then what median income is now. at least that's how they tell me economic theory is supposed to work.

    Yes, and I like it your way better because then we could just wipe our butts or snort coke with the dollar bills and use the change to weigh down the inflatable furniture.
