I will make a 97 minute feature sci-fi thriller. I will gainfully employ 17 crew members, 8 actors and 6 visual FX / Post production Editors for 30-90 days.

From the cred I get from making a successful feature film, I will be able to secure a larger budget for the next film, thus doubling the number of jobs / people I can gainfully employ.

With the cred I receive from that second film, I will finally have enough money & respect & street credit to gainfully employ 100 people full-time and make two films a year until I retire and hand the reins over to someone else who just needs someone to believe in them.

Just like I need someone like you to believe in me.

That's what I can do with your $100,000 investment in me.

This money is burning a hole in my pocket, but if one person gives me some sob story about their kids or cancer or sick dog, I will spend it ALL on hookers and an airplane.

I don't give two flying shits about your problems or your debts. It's time to step outside your petty complaints and think about how you can help us all.

One final suggestion from me OP-

We use the money to treat mentally ill (this includes some politicians) people with psychedelics such as shrooms and DMT, and treat cancer patients and those at risk with a diet of pure (lightly) steamed danks and ganja oil, and REPORT OUR FINDINGS TO POTUS. Or, at the very least, some major celebrities.

If you gave it to www.WaterAid.org, 3,333 people would have water for life.

Currently they drink water dirtier than in the Back to the Future Final sequel. This kills 4,000 chidren a day.

I would build a huge solar passive greenhouse in my small town, get a bunch of people to volunteer their time (easy, I've done it before successfully) and grow food for all 1,600 folks (or at least a huge chunk of them).

That would be completely awesome and there would be a lot of support for it.

100k would be enough money to start an organization to send aid to people that actually need it. The people who try but are constantly being shit on by society for not looking the part or following the herd.

So my conclusion after reading all the posts is that the money is not what will save us, we need to erradicate materialism from our lifes in order to start changing the world, because in us is where the thing starts.

For me it's small scale compared to the world, but it would change a lot of peoples lives.

Doctor/medical-assisted detox for opiate dependent patients.

Too many people have gotten hooked on these things and whether you want to or not it's a bitch to stop. Trying to find time to take off work, let alone afford it is difficult. Knowing you could be weeks of being unable to function correctly makes it hard to keep a full time job and go through the process on your own.

I'd start by handing out flyers at the 4+ local pain management doctor's offices so they could contact us without fear of being looked down on by the doctor.

Then I'd interview them and see who I felt was most likely ready to turn their life around and had the best chance of success. These people would be afforded the money to go through a medically-assisted detox. Skipping the horrible pains of withdrawals, but also allowing them to return to their jobs and be functioning members of their family and the community within just a few days.

That's what I'd do. I'd start with myself. If you consider that a sob story then fine, but I'm not complaining, just know what could change lots of lives. 100k/~3-5k = ~20-30+ lives changed for the better. That could make a lot of difference in a small community/city.

Not that I believe you, but what the hell.
