If I become a gazillionaire I’m just absolutely giving all my close allies $1m each bc I know they’ll spend it in value-creating ways
I’m confused about why I don’t know of any stories of this sort of thing

I think rational people (big if) would find an unconditional $1m more of an equalizer. As long as Tyler has fuck-you money he has power, but thanks to diminishing of returns it goes up as my wealth goes down.

Not sure I get it. My power almost definitely goes up if I give $1m to each of my people, because they’ll go on to acquire resources and influences I don’t have access to/wouldn’t have thought of/don’t have time to acquire

I think that's most of it. I have plenty of friends who could call me up and say "I can't make rent this month. Can I have a thousand dollars?" and I'd say yes, but they'll never ask unless *really* desperate because people are weird about money / want to be self-sufficient.
