I, too, would like 5-7 trillion dollars
you could donate billions per year and still have a trillion left by the time you died. fuck man what would you even do with that much money?
Drugs!
I'd probably give Louis Rossman and the institute for justice a trillion each. Rossman would use it to lobby for the Right to Repair movement, and the IFJ would use it to get rid of blatantly unjust legislation like civil asset forfeiture.
Donating a billion to GDQ while they're live would be pretty funny
One dollar for every point in a Do DonPachi run.
Hell, have them bring back the week-long after-show, just for stupid challenges you made up. $5000 for every game PJ can go out-of-bounds in, in twenty minutes. Four-person race to blindfold Ornstein & Smough. Mitch beating every NES SMB game while holding his breath underwater.
At some point just fly everyone out to the old Nickelodeon Guts course - which you've purchased and restored with approximately 0% of your fortune - to have these exuberant dorks compete on entirely different nostalgia-bait. You could probably split them evenly into Team Cishet and Team Queer. Well, okay. Team Queer might need to spot them a few bisexuals, to keep team size balanced.
rossman is a greedy influencer wannabe that wants to profit from internet injustices, stop being a fanboy.
He works for a non-profit organization as a Right to Repair lobbyist, so idk what you're on about. You'd already know this if you did any research beyond what you probably heard on Twitter.
If you think he's "greedy" for using his AdSense and MacBook repair money to create tutorials/Wikis for circumventing anti-repair measures and spreading awareness about unethical tech practices, idk what to tell you.
Best I can do is 4 trillion, take it or leave it
