nothing the peace corp does is sustainable usually, and that's unfortunate b/c i'm in the application process right now
I can understand why a country would benefit from an ongoing programe, even if it lasts all those years. Some things take time. I can't see why a particular village/city would require that much ongoing input.
Fix my cars. Fix my parents house Buy my sister a house Finance my Ex Brother in Law's education Pay for my education at a big name school by buying a wing or something so I'm guaranteed "credibility" Hire someone to help me learn to build a pipe organ hire someone to teach me to weld well Hire someone to teach me to plumb well Hire someone to teach me to solder better than I do at present. Buy a shit ton of lights and pyro for megatropolis. Buy Fly Ranch. Build a big eco friendly home on it, off grid, on one corner, near the springs. Build several smaller eco friendly homes around that one, those are the hostels. Build an artist's work camp, with eco-friendly longhouses (with dorm style living accommodations) with a forge, blast furnace, metal-shop, wood shop, machine shop, Autoclave, etc. All the goodies. Buy all of the land around fly ranch. pick an out of the way corner, and install photovoltaic "Trees" Start a website Start inviting artists Invite burning man Buy an RV, and a yacht Finance the zeppelin I want to design\build. Own the aerospace firm that manufactures them buy all of the barges that go out of business from the uberzeppelins, and build an offshore barge island, in international waters. Live happily ever after.
try to build a real faster then light u.f.o., probably. that and or go to some place like nepal and build for them little narrow gauge railroads, and basically help people set up for themselves how to build and maintain everything to do with them. or mass production of pv panels and systems. things like that. a trillion would be good seed capitol to set up making eco-harmonious infrastructure and promoting products, services and processes of that sort.
I would actually just keep a few million...make all my family millionaires and maybe hire them to dish it out like Bill Gates does...would not hire outside people because if the family members steal from me I really wouldnt care
I'd buy a decent sized island with good water, nice beach, maybe some wild horses on it. I'd build a self sustaining home on it and throw the rest of the money in the ocean.
