@ovid there's a few hospitals and schools that need to be rebuilt. Ide toss 100mill a month toward new kinda of batteries. Oklahoma needs more LGBTQ+ Spaces.

Can I invest it in ETFs?

@ovid using AWS would technically fall under the no throwing it away rule, right? :P

@ovid 100M in mortgage debt is probably not a lot of mortgage debt.

@fishidwardrobe
I think real estate falls under "gambling"

@ovid

@ovid
The one month deadline is tough because it would be hard to close on real estate on negotiate deals with organizations I care about in just a month.
I'd probably go by a bunch of expensive planes, appliances, lease buildings. I do whatever it took to spend that money to get the billion dollars. Figure out the details after the fact.

@ovid Isn't "throwing away" and "use AWS" the same ? 😅
