dealing with so many major problems that would instantly vanish if i had a thousandth of one percent of what oligarchs burn through in one vacation

A thousandth of one percent is 1x10^-5, i.e. if your oligarch spent 10^9 (a billion) you would get 10.000 dollars (10^4) which I doubt would be enough to cover most major problems. (Or 100.000 dollars for that matter)

For someone who’s poor? $10k would solve a lot of problems. Poor people already know how to stretch a dollar. Having 10k of them to stretch could go a long way.

I live near an area where they go to vacation. Multimillion dollar literal mansions with separate housing for their pools/guests, on huge properties and they literally have people they pay to live in the house because they only actually use it 2-3 weeks a year…

Friend of mine has that gig, lives in some rich guys woods compound through the winter. Except he’s pretty much cut off from society outside the Internet, starlink has been a huge blessing up there. Place is a 4 hour snowmobile ride from the nearest gas station.

I’m not going to lie, that sounds like actual heaven to me. If I could bring my wife, I’d drop my in-office software job for it in a heartbeat
