How would you spend $20 million a year? (midwest.social)

Pretend the $20 million is guaranteed, and if anything will increase slightly over time.

What problems could be significantly improved for $20 million?

(I am dreaming of winning the $1.55 billion Powerball drawling. Then taking the lumpsum, posting taxes, investing, and spending 4% each and every year. I understand that the actual may be more, or less than the started amount.)

How I always imagined it was I would live a nice middle class life with no worries for bills and shit. Then with the rest of the 19.7 million or so I would run a non-profit charity for people in locations that are unable to receive potentially life saving medications or treatments. Think abortions in the US as a major one, I’d want to help women get to a state they can safely get an abortion and then help them protect that info. Abortion bans are a classist issue, rich won’t be affected and they’re the ones who generally vote for this shit. But yeah that’s my dream, eventually I’d hope to get enough funding or money to expand that to a world wide endeavor with my own hospitals setup in regions where I can offer help the best and guarantee info protection.

Oh and I’d take a lesson from the fediverse and make my funding and how it’s used be free for viewing and pretty much presented first so people can trust my charity.
