    I could do it easy peasy

    It’s called supporting the arts. I’d just set up artist funds all over the country so that artists - visual artists, musical artists, theatrical artists, circus artists, writers, you name it - could learn, create, and share their work without struggling to get by.

    But then, I’m a human and not a capitalist lizard masquerading as human, so art actually means something to me.

        Ok, I did actually miss that line about no charitable donations.

        But I’m going to be annoying and argue that because of the gratification that funding artists would give me, it is actually a fully selfish endeavor and as such fulfills the requirements ;)

      The thought exercise says no charity donations. I guess spending part of your million a day on a suite of lawyers to argue that arts funding on that scale is not a “charitable donation” is a valid use of the money. But, that would cut into the charity funding eventually.
