What would you personally want to do with 10x the current level of funds available? What would you personally like to do with 200x the current level of funds available?
Some context:
There is sentiment that funding is high and that Open Philanthropy is “not funding constrained”.
I think it is reasonable to question this perspective.

This is because while Open Philanthropy may have access to $15 billion dollars of funds from the main donors, annual potato chip spending in the US may be $7 billion dollars, and bank overdraft fees may be about $11 billion.
This puts into perspective the scale of Open Philanthropy next to the economic activity of just one country.
Many systemic issues may only be addressable at this scale of funding. Also, billionaire wealth seems large and continues to grow.
