If I had infinite money, I would create Medicare for All as a private company.

It'd be like shooting all the healthcare CEOs at once.

Free housing, healthcare, and education for everyone!

Just kidding. I'd dress up like a bat and beat up clowns.

Use it sparingly, to avoid causing massive inflation as everyone realises the money supply is fucked.

Look, I like chaos as much as the next guy, but blowing up the entire global economy is a step too far. And I could do a lot of good with a few billion that I can actually spend.

Unless this means infinite actual value instead of infinite imaginary currency, in which case I guess I ascend everyone and everything into some kind of godhood, because that implies I can.

Mass duplicate rare earth metals at a rate that would crash economies and make white goods and alternative energy sources actually cheaper than fossil fuels.

Then while the world's having an absolute fit trying to recover from that, I'd find a way to duplicate expensive and hard to make medicine till it's functionally worth less than the packaging it comes in.

Immediately not trust it and assume I'm too stupid or ignorant to see what the flaw in the system is.

And next I'd be worried that, flaw or not, the authorities might find out about it, because that would almost certainly not end well.

Even if there's truly a way to get something for nothing, someone else will find a way to take it away.

I'm assuming this is extralegal cash.

Start some businesses that could accept the money without raising eyebrows regarding revenue streams. Eventually quit my job to focus on these businesses.

Keep it a secret, give some money to those in need, and go see as many movies as I want without worrying about money

House with a yard. One of the rooms is a sensory room. Quietly donate to causes of marginalized folks. Continue going to work.

Get a peaceful night of sleep.

this already exists, it's calles the stock market. largest international casino ever conceived, learn the rules and it's all the $ you could possibly want (scaling above the 1 million mark gets tricky, admittedly)

Have existential crisis.

I guess I might buy a new fishin' pole'na couple'a lures and go fishin'.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Crash the rouble.

Just glitch infinite amounts of it and give it to everyone

Honestly Russia's central bank is already on it, it's just taking a moment to kick in.
